Need You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know it's not your fault, but I'm a locked door
And inside, I'm a mess by someone before
And I wish that I, I could find a key
To unlock all the things you want us to be
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me open up and start again
But there's a safe around my heart
I don't know how to let you in
That's what keeps us apart
[Chorus]
And that's why I need time
I said I need you
I need you to understand
You, you, you
I need you to understand
You, you
[Verse 2]
Call up the locksmith
Tell him we need him quick
We've got a million keys
None of 'em seem to fit
While you're on the phone
Call up the clocksmith
'Cause I could use some time
Even the slightest bit
I know it's not your fault, but I'm a locked door
And inside, I'm a mess by someone before
And I wish that I, I could find a key
To unlock all the things you want us to be
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me open up and start again
But there's a safe around my heart
I don't know how to let you in
That's what keeps us apart
[Chorus]
And that's why I need time
I said I need you
I need you to understand
You, you, you
I need you to understand
You, you
[Verse 2]
Call up the locksmith
Tell him we need him quick
We've got a million keys
None of 'em seem to fit
While you're on the phone
Call up the clocksmith
'Cause I could use some time
Even the slightest bit
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me open up and start again
And break this safe around my heart
I don't know how to let you in
That's what keeps us apart
[Chorus]
And that's why I need time
I said I need you
I need you to understand
You, you, you
I need you to understand
[Bridge]
I'm thinking now's the time
Maybe it's time to go
If I gave you my heart, be gentle
I'm tired of layin' low, let's give the world a show
And when you know, you know (Ooh, ooh)
And when you know, you know, you know (Ooh, ooh)
And when you know, you know, you know, you know
[Chorus]
And that's why I need time
I said I need you
I need you to understand
You, you, you
I need you to understand
I need you to understand
I need you to understand
I need you to understand
Let me open up and start again
And break this safe around my heart
I don't know how to let you in
That's what keeps us apart
[Chorus]
And that's why I need time
I said I need you
I need you to understand
You, you, you
I need you to understand
[Bridge]
I'm thinking now's the time
Maybe it's time to go
If I gave you my heart, be gentle
I'm tired of layin' low, let's give the world a show
And when you know, you know (Ooh, ooh)
And when you know, you know, you know (Ooh, ooh)
And when you know, you know, you know, you know
[Chorus]
And that's why I need time
I said I need you
I need you to understand
You, you, you
I need you to understand
I need you to understand
I need you to understand
I need you to understand
[Outro]
I need you
I need you
I need you
You, you
I need you
I need you
I need you
You, you
