You Need Me Lyrics - Janet Jackson

As a child I missed a lot of love I never had 

And daddy, he was distant, never there to hold my hand 

Never bought the things he'd always promise to give me 

Mother made a point of always watching over me 

Days would go by and we would never see his face 

In my mind I'd wonder does he have another place? 

If and when he'd come in he would always be upset 

All the kids were scared, his looks would always be a threat 

Chorus: 

Now that you are older and you begin to see 

Family's important, to be there if you need 

Father never taught us, these things mom said to me 

Now the table's turned so tell me you need me

Daddy daddy dearest, what is it you want from me 

I won't turn my back on you the way you did with me 

Now you're trying to give, I'm always reaching out to grab 

I'll give you what I can but I can't give what I don't have 

Mother lends a shoulder, to cry on if you need 

But are you there for mother when she needs your company? 

Father never taught us, these things mom said to me 

Now the table's turned so tell me you need me 

Say you need me 

If you realize we need each other 

We would be a closer family 

I need you, yeah, I need you, and you know that 

Say you need me 

Repeat Chorus 

Say you need me 

Just you wait 

You'll need me 

(How'd that groove go? hey!)
