I Needed You Lyrics - Chris Brown

Told that I'm supposed to fail 

I wouldn't amount to much of nothing 

Yes I pray, there was days, 

I wondered if you really loved me 

But baby you feel pain 

Mama would say when I felt like running away 

I couldn't take it. 

I Soon hit ten, angry with all of the world. 

I couldn't keep friends, just wishing you'd come back and see 

My difficult times being an adolescent 

And like so many just like me, without a shoulder to lean

I needed you 

When I needed a father figure 

I needed you 

To stop me from makin' a wrong decision 

At seventeen, when the cold of the world had my back up against the wall. 

I need, I needed you 

I need, I needed you 

Told that I'm supposed to fail, 

I wouldn't amount to much of nothing 

Yes I pray, there was days, 

I wondered if you really loved me. 

"But baby you feel pain." 

Mama would say when I felt like running away. 

I couldn't take it. 

I Soon hit ten, angry with all of the world. 

I couldn't keep friends, just wishing you'd come back and see, 

My difficult times being an adolescent. 

And like so many just like me, without a shoulder to lean 

I needed you 

When I needed a father figure. 

I needed you 

To stop me from makin' the wrong decisions. 

At seventeen, when the cold of the world had my back up against the wall. 

When temptation was calling me, didn't know which way to go. 

I needed you. 

I need, I needed you. 

I needed you. 

I need, I need you. 

Seventeen, when the cold of the world had my back up against the wall. 

When temptation was calling me, didn't know which way to go 

Mama had no financial help 

And thoughts of breakin' the law came 

Seen her tryna hold down two jobs 

Was tearin' up on me had a way (had a way) 

All my friends was gettin' in it 

It came time for me to get that dough 

Wrong or right I had to go for what I know 

I needed you 

When I needed a father figure 

I needed you 

To stop me from making the wrong decisions. 

At seventeen, when the cold of the world had my back up against the wall 

When temptation was calling me, didn't know which way to go 

I needed you 

I need, I needed you 

I needed you 

I need, I need you 

Seventeen, when the cold of the world had my back up against the wall 

When temptation was calling me, didn't know which way to go 

Lord I pray. Give me strength to forgive them and not all the I hate I got 

Even though the pain of this was too heavy. Lord I pray 

Show me all brothers growing up without a father had a turn with a day adolescent to a legacy 

Lord I pray 

From the knowledge I ain't get 

God you gave me 

And temptation was calling me, didn't know which way to go 

I needed you 

When I needed a father figure. 

I needed you 

To stop me from making the wrong decisions. 

At seventeen, when the cold of the world had my back up against the wall 

When temptation was calling me, didn't know which way to go
