jill scott - the fact is (i need you) lyrics

i can pay my own light bill baby
pump 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 polyurethane
but some things just don't change
i need you yeah
sometimes so hard to say oh
i need you
some things remain
i could buy my own groceries baby
get my hair tight, my nails right
i can floss my own bling bling
write the words to the songs i sing
i can even raise the child we'll make
make sure he's loved and knows what god gave us
i can teach him how to walk and stand
but he needs you to help him be a man
we need you
so hard to say
we need you
some things don't change
i could be congresswoman
or a garbage woman or
police officer, or a carpenter
i could be a doctor and a lawyer and a mother and a good girl
god what you've done to me
kind of lover i could be
i could be a computer analyst, the queen with the nappy hair raising her fist
or i could 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 even though i can do all these things
i need you
we need you
we do
we need you yeah
we need you
