Mavis Staples Never Needed Anyone
[Verse 1]
It was all at once
I missed everything I'd ever lost
Started over many times
Now I'm, I'm paying the cost
[Chorus]
I never needed anyone
I never needed anyone
Never needed, needed anyone
Like I need you
I need you
[Verse 2]
Seems like so long ago
When we had nothing to lose
Now all that we are
Is the living ghost of our youth
[Chorus]
I never needed anyone
I never needed anyone
Never needed anyone
Like I need you
Like I need you
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
I never needed anyone
I never needed anyone
Never needed anyone
[Chorus]
Never needed anyone
Never needed anyone
Never needed anyone
Like I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
