(Verse 1)
I was afraid to get out of the car
So I just sat there, I just sat there
How was I gonna tell them that I'd lost my job
I gotta go in there, I'm goin' in there
So we gathered round the table and I told them the news
But the looks of desperation nearly broke me in two
(Verse 2)
Son I know you want them running shoes
They're gonna have to wait, they're gonna have to wait
And darlin' I know you wanted that dress in the window
We're gonna get it, it just won't be now
Then my little girl looked up at me with those big round eyes
And the words that she told me almost made me cry
(Chorus)
She said, we don't need it, we can do without it
We're gonna make it, no doubt about it
We're gonna stick together, make it better
We don't need it, all we need is you
(Verse 3)
My son said, daddy, I got sixteen dollars
I want you to take it, I want you to take it
The next door neighbor asked me to rake the leaves
I'm gonna do it, I'm sure gonna do it
I was afraid to get out of the car
So I just sat there, I just sat there
How was I gonna tell them that I'd lost my job
I gotta go in there, I'm goin' in there
So we gathered round the table and I told them the news
But the looks of desperation nearly broke me in two
(Verse 2)
Son I know you want them running shoes
They're gonna have to wait, they're gonna have to wait
And darlin' I know you wanted that dress in the window
We're gonna get it, it just won't be now
Then my little girl looked up at me with those big round eyes
And the words that she told me almost made me cry
(Chorus)
She said, we don't need it, we can do without it
We're gonna make it, no doubt about it
We're gonna stick together, make it better
We don't need it, all we need is you
(Verse 3)
My son said, daddy, I got sixteen dollars
I want you to take it, I want you to take it
The next door neighbor asked me to rake the leaves
I'm gonna do it, I'm sure gonna do it
