You Need Me, I Don't Need You

Now I'm in town, break it down

Thinkin' of makin' a new sound

Playin' a different show every night in front of a new crowd

That's you now, ciao, seems life is great now

See me lose focus as I sing to you aloud

And I can't, no I wouldn't hush

I say the words that make you blush

I'm gonna sing this now

Now, now, now, now, now, now

See I'm true, my song is where my heart is

I'm like glue, stick to other artists

I'm not you, now that would be disastrous

So let me sing and do my thing

And move to greater 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

'Cause Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me, man

'Cause you need me, man, I don't

You need me, man, I don't-don't-don't

You need me, man, I don't

Man, I don't, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't

You need me, man, I don't-don't-don't

You need me, man, I don't

Man, I don't

Yeah, I sing and write my own tune, and I write my own verse

Now don't need another wordsmith to make my tune sell

So call yourself a singer-writer, you're just bluffing

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 smokin' on a crack pipe

And I won't be the product of my genre

And my mind always be stronger than my songs are

So never believe the bullshit that fake guys will feed to you

Always read the stories that you hear on Wikipedia, yeah

And musically I'm demonstrating

When I perform live, feels like I am meditating

Times at the Enterprise when some fellow filmed me

A young singer-writer like Gabriella Cilmi

'Cause you need me, man, I don't

You need me, man, I don't-don't-don't

You need me, man, I don't

Man, I don't, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't

You need me, man, I don't-don't-don't

You need me, man, I don't

Man, I don't

'Cause with the lyrics I'll be aiming it right

I won't stop till my name's in lights

At stadium heights with Damien Rice

On red carpets, now I'm on Arabian Nights

Because I'm young I know my brother's gonna give me advice

A long nighter, short height, and I goin' hyper

Never be anything but a singer-songwriter, yeah

The game's over but now I'm on a new level

Watch how I step on the track without a loop pedal

People think that I'm bound to blow up

I've done around about a thousand shows

But I haven't got a house, plus I live on a couch

So you be the loons when I'm singin' them out

From day one, I've been prepared

With VO5 wax for my ginger hair

So now I run back to Suffolk, givin' a dose of what the future holds

'Cause it's another day

Plus I'll keep my last name forever, keep this genre pretty basic

Gonna be breakin' into other people's tunes when I chase it

I replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift

To another rapper's shoes using new laces

Sellin' CDs from a rucksack aiming for the papers

Sellin' CDs from my rucksack aiming for majors

Nationwide tour with Just Jack, soon as I get the bus back

Clean-cut kid without a razor for the mustache

I hit back when the pen hurts me

I'm still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee

I'm still the same as years ago, but more people hear me, though

According to the MySpace and YouTube videos

I'm always doing shows, if I'm not, I'm in the studio

Truly broke, never growing up, call me Rufio

Melody music maker, reading all the papers

They say I'm up-and-coming like I'm ****in' in an elevator

'Cause you need me, man, I don't

You need me, man, I don't-don't-don't

You need me, man, I don't

Man, I don't, man, I don't need you

'Cause you need me, man, I don't

You need me, man, I don't-don't-don't

You need me, man, I don't

Man, I don't, man, I don't

'Cause you need me, man, I don't

'Cause you need me, man, I don't

'Cause you need me, you need me, you need me, man, I don't

'Cause you need me, man I don't

You need me, man, I don't

You need me, you need me, you need me, man, I don't need you
