Don’t You Need Lyrics
Melissa Etheridge
I had a dream late last night
The water was running low
And my fields were on fire, burning my sky
My body was moving slow
And when I awoke I tasted the sweat of desire in my mouth
And I realized my heart had abducted my mind
And they were last seen headed south
Now I cant sleep Im so wired
And I find myself screaming out
Dont you need dont you want
Cant you taste it when youre alone
Dont you cry dont you feel
Sometimes I wonder if you are real
Dont you bleed
Dont you need
Theres no quenching the thirst theres no relief
For the hungry at heart
And as far as youre concerned Im just a thief
Entertaining in the dark
But its you that holds the cards
Now that the joker is wild
Dont you want to lay it down
And feel your skin against the ground
Dont you want to ride the storm
And then sleep inside the calm
Dont you want to get that high
Dont you want to be satisfied
Well if you dont want it from me
Dont you need
I had a dream late last night
The water was running low
And my fields were on fire burning my sky
How was I to know
That I burn every night in my dreams
And only morning can set me free
Dont you need dont you want
Cant you taste it when youre alone
Dont you cry dont you feel
Sometimes I wonder if you are real
Dont you bleed
Dont you need
