  She don't need me


Verse #1

Almost ready, almost there
Or is it already over?
She's a friend in need
She's a friend indeed
She needs someone to hold her

Chorus #1

Alone at night, she plans her game
Correctly thinking that I'm in pain
But every night it's always the same
She be a-fuckin' with my brain

Chorus #2

We all want to play your game with you
We know you're just a starter
But there's no reason for you to quit
Just 'cuz we try harder

Verse #2

I don't want to talk on the telephone
I don't want to see no pictures
She'll find out just what she needs
And when she does I'll get her

Chorus #3

She feels safe when she's with him
'cuz he'll never try anything with her
Well now you know, girl, just what you want
Are you going to let it scare you?
