never need nobody

I’ve been looking around
All over the town
At the places, you used to be

Got a call in the early morning
Heard that you were busy
With work and family

Remember the days
Though they now seem a haze
When neither meant much to you

Said you’d never love nobody
And never need nobody
And now you do

I know that you lived
Yes, really lived
Before someone like me

Never knew
What you went through
And I know we can not speak

But you gotta know
That I wanna show
just how much you still mean

Even though you
Said you’d never love nobody
And never need nobody
And now you do

You never measure
when you cook
or when you live your life

And I always treasured
how you took
the risks to end some strife

And even now, though the time has past
The past is not where I want you

But you’re practically wed,
If just in your head.
Soon to be whisked away

So I gotta stand tall
wish the best for you all
Nothing else I can say, ‘cept

Said you’d never love nobody
And never need nobody
And now you do
It sure seems that you do

Oh and I bet, though wager, no
There will be a majordomo
in your life.

You’ll be a socialite
Spending every night
Dressed in ball gowns and dance in sand

Maybe send me an invitation
One of these days, so I can once again
hold on to your hand

I remember when you turned to me and
Said you’d never love nobody
And never need nobody
And now you do
Yes, now you do
