The Fact Is (I Need You) [Live in Paris]

I can pay my own light bill, baby

Put my own gas in my own car

I can buy my own shoe collection

I've been blessed thus far

I can kill the spider above my bed

Although it's hard because I'm scared

I can even stain and poly your bane

But some things just don't change

I need you, yeah

Sometimes so hard to say, uh

I need you

Some things remain

I can buy my own groceries, baby

Get my hair dyed, my nails fly

I can floss my own bling-bling

Write the words to the songs I sing

I can even raise a child well-made

Make sure he's loved and knows what God gave, uh huh

I can teach him how to walk and stand

But he needs you to help him be a man

Umm

We need you

So hard to say

We need you

Some things don't change

I can be a Congress woman or a garbage woman

A police officer or a carpenter

I can be doctor and a lawyer and a mother and a good goddess

Woman, what you done to me?

Good lover I can be

I can be a computer on a list

The queen with the nappy hair raising the fist

Or

I can be much more and a myriad of this

Hot as the summer

Sweet as the first kiss

And even though I can do all these things

I need you

And even though I can do all these things

We need you

We need you, we need you

And even though I can do all these things by my damn self

I need you

I do, I do, I do, I do

And though I can do all these here things

I need you, we need you

I do
