I Needed You Lyrics & Tabs by Chris Brown
I Needed You
guitar chords lyrics
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 need, I needed you
Is never there
Told that I'm 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 would say when I felt like running away
I couldn't take it.
I soon hit ten
Angry with all of the world
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
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
I needed you
I need, I needed you
I needed you
I need, I need you
At seventeen, when the cold of the world got my back up against the wall
When temptation was calling me, didn't know which way to go
Mama had no financial help
And thoughts of breakin' the law came
Seein her tryna hold down two jobs
Was tearin' up on me had a way (had a way)
All my friends was gettin' in it
It came time for me to get that dough
Wrong or right I had to go for what I know
I needed you
When I needed a father figure
I needed you
To stop me from making the wrong decisions.
At seventeen, when the cold of the world had my back up against the wall
When temptation was calling me, didn't know which way to go
I needed you
I need, I needed you
I needed you
I need, I need you
Seventeen, when the cold of the world had my back up against the wall
When temptation was calling me, didn't know which way to go
And lord I pray
Give me strength to forgive them and not hold all the I hate I got
Even though the pain of this was too heavy
And lord I pray
Show me all my younger brothers growing up without a father
How to turn what they have less into a legacy
And lord I pray
From the knowledge I ain't get
God you gave me
And temptation was calling me, didn't know which way to go
