We Don't Need It Lyrics - Like A Fire - Solomon Burke

Here I am at home (hrum, hrum hrum) 

I was afraid, to get out of the car 

So I just sat there, I just sat there 

How was I gonna tell them? 

That I lost my job 

Gotta go in there, gotta go in there 

So we gathered 'round the table 

Told them the news 

And the look of desperation 

Nearly broke me in two 

Son, I know you wanted 

Them running shoes 

Gonna have to wait, they going have to wait 

Darling, I know you wanted 

That dress in the window 

We gonna get it, 

But it won't be now

Then my little girl looked at me, 

With those big round eyes 

And the words she told me, 

almost made me cry! 

(Chorus) 

We don't need it, 

We can do without it, 

We going to make it 

No doubt about it 

We're going stick together 

Make it better 

We don't need it 

All we need is you

My son said; 

Daddy, I got sixteen books 

Why don't you take it, I want you to take it 

The next door neighbor 

Asked me to rake the leaves 

And I'm gonna do it, I'm sure gonna do it 

'Cause I wanna help you out 

Anyway I can 

It's about time I learn, just to be a man 

My wife said; 

Darling, we got so much stuff 

Just sitting around here, just sitting around 

Like grandmom's china, and the sterling silverware 

Just sitting around here, just gathering dust 

Ever since she past away 

We ain't used it yet 

So let's put it out in the front yard 

And see what we can get 

(Chorus) 

And we don't need it 

We can do without it, 

We gonna make it 

No doubt about it 

We're going stick together 

Make it better 

We don't need it 

All we need is you 

Days and weeks, 

and months went by 

The big boss called, 

In a lickup town (?) 

Got my check 

And brought it home 

Yeah, it's been tough 

But we've been blessed 

Let's get them shoes 

And that brand new dress! 

(Chorus) 

We don't need it 

We can do without it, 

We gonna make it 

No doubt about it 

We're going stick together 

Make it better 

We don't need it 

All we need is you (you) 

We don't need it 

We can do without it, 

We gonna make it 

No doubt about it 

We're going stick together 

And make it better 

We don't need it 

All we need is you (loving you) 

We can do without it 

We gonna make it 

No doubt about it 

We're going stick together (begin fading) 

And make it better 

We don't need it 

All we need is you 

(Fade chorus)
