[Intro]
Every child grows up
With the hope of being something special in life
But what happens when the one that they depend on the most
(I need, I needed you)
Is never there?
[Verse 1]
Told that I was supposed to fail
I wouldn't amount to much of nothing
Yes, I pray
There was days I wondered if you really loved me
But, baby, you feel pain
Mama was sane when I felt like running away
I couldn't take it
I soon hit ten, angry with all of the world
I couldn't keep friends, just wishing you'd come back and see
My difficult times being an adolescent
And like so many just like me without a shoulder to lean
[Chorus]
I needed you
When I needed a father figure
I needed you
To stop me from makin' the wrong decisions
At seventeen
When the cold of the world had my back up against the wall
When temptation was callin' me
Didn't know which way to go
Every child grows up
With the hope of being something special in life
But what happens when the one that they depend on the most
(I need, I needed you)
Is never there?
[Verse 1]
Told that I was supposed to fail
I wouldn't amount to much of nothing
Yes, I pray
There was days I wondered if you really loved me
But, baby, you feel pain
Mama was sane when I felt like running away
I couldn't take it
I soon hit ten, angry with all of the world
I couldn't keep friends, just wishing you'd come back and see
My difficult times being an adolescent
And like so many just like me without a shoulder to lean
[Chorus]
I needed you
When I needed a father figure
I needed you
To stop me from makin' the wrong decisions
At seventeen
When the cold of the world had my back up against the wall
When temptation was callin' me
Didn't know which way to go
