Never Needed Anyone - Mavis Staples

It was all at once

I missed everything I’d ever lost

Started over many times

Now I’m, I’m paying the cost

I never needed anyone

I never needed anyone

Never needed, needed anyone

Like I need you

I need you

Seems like so long ago

When we had nothing to lose

Now all that we are

Is the living ghost of our youth

I never needed anyone

I never needed anyone

Never needed anyone

Like I need you

Like I need you

So deep inside

It just won’t leave us, leave us alone

In a world that’s so lost, so dark, so afraid

It cuts you to the bone

I never needed anyone

I never needed anyone

Never needed anyone

Never needed anyone

Never needed anyone

Never needed anyone

Like I need you

I need you

I need you

I need you
