David Ruffin & Jimmy Ruffin – You’re What I Need Lyrics
Artist: David Ruffin & Jimmy Ruffin
Song: You’re What I Need
Well
Well, well
Hoohoo
You’re what i need
Not what i want, baby
You don’t try to please me
Girl, you do me wrong
Oh, i wish i could love
Someone i liked
I don’t even like you
But girl, you love me so right
You’re what i need
Not what i want, baby (oh)
You’re what i need
Not what i want (oh)
Wish i could stop
This feeling so strong
’cause i don’t need a woman
Who tip-toes while i’m gone
Oh, baby, i’m no exception
To the rule
Man knows it’s ill respect
When a woman treats him like a fool
Ooh, you’re what i need
Not what i want, baby (oh)
You’re what i need
Good god, you’re what i need (oh)
Your words were like gold dust
And i loved how you talk
They were plain old-fashioned lies
Knowing i should walk
Listen, your game was polished, baby
That’s why it worked (mmm)
How was i to know
That your gold dust would turn to dirt, dirt
Oh, you’re what i need
You’re not what i want, baby (oh)
You’re what i need
Not what i want (ha-how!)
Well (get it, get it, get it)
Well, well, well (get it, get it, get it)
Well, well, well (get it, get it, get it)
Hmm, ooh
Hmm
Tell ’em about it, my brother jimmy
Ooh, ooh
You’re what i need
Not what i want (oh)
You’re what i need
Not what i want, baby
I may yonder
Girl, i may complain, yeah
But i keep on crawling back to you (mmm)
Time and time again
Let me tell you, the power within you (mmm)
Is something i need
Stronger than a magnet
Attracted to steel
You’re what i need
Little girl, you’re not, what i want, baby (you’re what i need)
You’re what i need, baby
Little girl, not what i want (you’re what i need)
You’re what i need, you got to
Little girl, not what i want, it’s good, baby (you’re what i need)
You’re what i need, baby
Little girl, you’re not what i want (you’re what i need)
You’re what i need, baby, baby
Little girl, you’re not what i want, want, want (you’re what i need)
You’re what i need, baby
Little girl, you’re not what i want (you’re what i keep)
You’re what i need, baby
Little girl, you’re not what i want (you’re what i need)
You’re what i need,
Little girl, you’re not what i want (you’re what i need)
You’re what i need, girl i adore
Little girl, you’re not what i want
What i need this evenin'(you’re what i need)
I can’t take it, no, baby, woo
You’re just what i need, little girl
You’re not what i want
