Gladys Knight & The Pips – The Need to Be Lyrics
Artist: Gladys Knight & The Pips
Song: The Need to Be
To fulfill the need to be who I am
In this world, is all I ask
I can’t pretend to be something that I’m not
And I won’t wear a mask
Ooh, you touched my face with love in your eyes
But will you touch my heart
With the understanding that it takes to realize
I just can’t play a part
Ooh, it’s a need to be true to myself
And make my own mistakes
I don’t want to lean too hard on someone else
No matter what it takes
So if you are sure it’s love (If you’re sure it’s love)
Just be sure it’s love (Just be sure it’s love for me)
For this thing called me
‘Cause I am who I am and I have the need to be
I’m not fool enough to ever think that I
Could be the master of my faith
But it’s up to me to choose my roads in life
Ah, rocky may well be the ones I take
Ah, the ones I take (There’s a need)
There’s a need to be something more
Than just a reflection of a man, huh
I can’t survive in someone’s shadow
I need my very own little spot to stand
Hey, if you’re sure it’s love (If you’re sure it’s love)
Just be sure it’s love (Just be sure it’s love for me)
For me and only me
‘Cause I am what I am and I have the need to be
Hey, just be sure it’s love (If you’re sure it’s love)
Real, real sure it’s love (Just be sure it’s love for me)
For me for little old me, mhm
‘Cause I am what I am
I am what I am and I have the need to be
