|
I was afraid to get out of the car |
|
So I just sat, I just sat there |
|
How was I gonna tell her I'd just lost my job |
|
I gotta go in there, I'm goin' in there |
|
So we gathered round the table and I told them the news |
|
But the looks of desperation nearly broke me in two |
|
Son I know you want, them running shoes |
|
There gonna have to wait, There gonna have to wait |
|
And darlin' I know, you wanted that dress in the window |
|
We're gonna get it, It just won't be now |
|
Then my little just looked up at me with those little round eyes |
|
And the words that she told me, almost made me cry |
|
(Chorus) |
|
She said, we don't need it, we can do without it |
|
We're gonna make it, no doubt about it |
|
We're gonna stick together, make it better |
|
We don't need it, all we need is you |
|
My son said, daddy, I got sixteen dollars |
|
I want you to take it, I want you to take it |
|
The next door neighbor asked me to rake the leaves |
|
I'm gonna do it, I'm sure gonna do i&116 |
|
'Cause I wanna help you out anyway I can |
|
And it's about time I learn to be a man |
|
And my wife say's darlin, we got all this stuff |
|
Just sittin' there, just sittin' there |
|
Like Grandma's china and silverware |
|
It's just sittin' there gatherin' dust |
|
And ever since she's past away, we haven't use it yet |
|
So let's put it out in the front yard and see what we can get |
|
(Chorus) |
|
She said, we don't need it, we can do without it |
|
We're gonna make it, no doubt about it |
|
We're gonna stick together, make it better |
|
We don't need it, all we need is you |
|
(Bridge) |
|
Days and weeks and months went by |
|
Big boss called in the nick-of-time |
|
And I got my check and I brought it home |
|
Yea it's been tough, but we've been blessed |
|
Your gonna get them shoes and that brand new dress |
|
(Chorus) |
|
But you know, we don't need it, we can do without it |
|
We're gonna make it, no doubt about it |
|
We're gonna stick together, make it better |
|
We don't need it, all we need is you (2X's) All we need is you |
