We Don't Need It - Keb' Mo'

I was afraid to get out of the car

So I just sat, I just sat there

How was I gonna tell her I’d just 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

Son I know you want, them running shoes

There gonna have to wait, There 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 just looked up at me with those little round eyes

And the words that she told me, almost made me cry

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

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 i&116

'Cause I wanna help you out anyway I can

And it’s about time I learn to be a man

And my wife say’s darlin, we got all this stuff

Just sittin' there, just sittin' there

Like Grandma’s china and silverware

It’s just sittin' there gatherin' dust

And ever since she’s past away, we haven’t use it yet

So let’s put it out in the front yard and see what we can get

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

(Bridge)

Days and weeks and months went by

Big boss called in the nick-of-time

And I got my check and I brought it home

Yea it’s been tough, but we’ve been blessed

Your gonna get them shoes and that brand new dress

But you know, 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 (2X's) All we need is you
