The Fact Is (I Need You)

I can pay my own light bill, baby
Pump my own gas in my own car
I can handle my own shoe collection
I've been blessed thus far
I can kill the spider above my bed
Although it's hard because I'm scared
I can even stain and polyurethane
But some things just don't change
I need you, yeah
Sometimes so hard to say, oh
I need you
Some things remain

I can buy my own groceries, baby
Get my hair tight, my nails right
I can floss my own bling-bling
Write the the words to the songs I sing
I can even raise the child we'll make
Make sure he's loved and knows what God gave us
I can teach him how to walk and stand
But he needs you to help him be a man
We need you
So hard to say
We need you
Some things don't change

I could be congresswoman or a garbage woman
Or police officer or a carpenter
I could be a doctor and a lawyer and a mother
And a good God, woman what you done to me kind of lover I can be
I could be a computer analyst
The queen with the nappy hair raising the fist, or
I could be much more and a myriad abyss
Hot as the summer, sweet as the first kiss

And even though I can do all these things
I need you
And even though I can do all these things
We need you
We need you, We need you

And even though I can do all these things by my damn self
I need you
I do, I do, I do, I do
And even though I can do all these here things
I need you
We need you
We do

We need you, yeah
We need you
