Words and Music © 1986 by John Tabacco and Nick DiMauro
Published by It Iz What It Iz Music (SESAC)

Some sort of pop /rock song with awful lyrics Nick and I thought was better suited for a female vocalist in the style of Pat Benatar. Paul Michael Barkan's friend Cris Plevyak from Berwick, Pennsylvania was visiting Paul at the time and somehow we coxed her into singing it. The song eventually got lost in the sauce and we never polished it off. Eventually, I took Gerry Palisi's guitar solo (best part of the song in my opinion) and placed it in "Manipulation (Unexpected Family)" which resides on the CD "Life Here.. It's Anybody's Guess".

lyrics

YOU NEED ME

I need you
You need me
And it's everything they said it would be

And I hear from above
That we'll always spend our lives together in love
And when you're walking down the street
They say they feel the heat
And I can tell by your look
I read you like a book

You need me and I know it's true
And in time you'll see you might love me too

Starting here
Starting now
We will make our way through life together somehow
Somehow!

And when you're walking - you're too cool
You make me wanna drool
And I can feel by your touch
You use me like a crutch

You need me and I know it's true
And in time you'll see you might love me too

And when you're walking down the street
They say they feel the heat
And I can tell by your look
I read you like a book

You need me and I know it's true
And in time you'll see you might love me too

You need me and I know it's true
And in time you'll see you might love me too
