I don't want to bruise your ears

Or hurt you again

But I got back-stabbed by a black cab

When I needed a friend

Now I’m in town, break it down, thinking of making a new sound

Playing a different show every night in front of a new crowd

That’s you now, ciao, seems that life is great now

See me lose focus, as I sing to you loud

And I can’t, no, I won’t hush

I’ll say the words that make you blush

I’m gonna sing this now

See, I’m true, my songs are where my heart is

I’m like glue, I stick to other artists

I’m not you, now that would be disastrous

Let me sing and do my thing and move to greener pastures

See, I’m real, I do it all, it’s all me

I’m not fake, don’t ever call me lazy

I won’t stay put, give me the chance to be free

Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me

‘Cause you need me, man, I don’t need you

You need me, man, I don’t need you

You need me, man, I don’t need you at all

You need me, man, I don’t need you

You need me, man, I don’t need you

You need me, man, I don’t need you

You need me, man, I don’t need you at all

You need me

Does he write his own tunes? Does he write his own verse?

Hell, don’t need another word-smith to make my tune sell.

Call yourself a singer-writer. You’re just bluffing

Your name’s on the credits and you didn’t write nothing

I sing fast, I know that all my shit’s cool

I will blast and I didn’t go to Brit School

I came fast with the way I act, right

I can’t last if I’m smoking on a crack pipe

And I won’t be a product of my genre

My mind will always be stronger than my songs are

Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya

Always read the stories that you hear on Wikipedia

And musically I’m demonstrating

When I perform live, feels like I am meditating

Times at The Enterprise when some fella filmed me

‘A young singer-writer like Gabriella Cilmi’

‘Cause you need me, man, I don’t need you

You need me, man, I don’t need you

You need me, man, I don’t need you, at all

You need me, man, I don’t need you

You need me, man, I don’t need you
