I can pay my own light bill baby pump my own gas in my own car I can buy my own shoe collection I've been blessed thus far I can kill the spider above my bed although it's hard because I'm scared I can even stain and polyurethane But some things just don't change I need you,yeah Sometimes so hard to say I need you Some things remain I can buy my own groceries baby Get my hair tight my nails right I can floss my own bling bling Write the the words to the songs I sing I can even raise the child we'll make Make sure he's loved and knows what God gave us I can teach him how to walk and stand but he needs you to help him be a man So how do i say We need you Some things don't change I could be congresswoman or a garbage woman or police officer or a carpenter I could be a doctor and a lawyer and a mother and a "good God what chu donet to me?" kind of lover I can be I could be a computer analyst The queen with the nappy hair raising her fist or I could be much more and a myraid of this Hot as the summer Sweet as the first kiss And even though I can do all these things I need you And even though I can do all these things We need you(x4)
