Need To Be Needed Lyrics

Switches Need To Be Needed

Maura, Maura, you're a lovely girl
But you're hiding hurt I can tell
Oh, you're daddy ran off with a younger girl
And you're friends are all on drugs as well

Maura, Maura, it's a living hell but
I'm striving hard to crack your shell
It's a dirty job but someone's got to try
And it may as well be a fool like I

'Cause I need, to be needed
I love to be loved
But at the back of my mind
I know that being kind ain't enough

Maura, Maura, you're a beauty queen
The kind my eyes have never seen
And I'm working flat out to maybe keep you keen
But I don't want a bit part in this scene

Maura, Maura, when you talk with me
I feign to listen patiently
But I could never judge you that's a guarantee
And I hope the same rules apply for me

'Cause I need to be needed
I love to be loved
But at the back of my mind
I know that being kind ain't enough
Ain't enough, ain't enough

'Cause I need you to need me
I'd love you to love
But if I just speak my mind
I feel that being kind ain't enough

Maura, Maura, you're a lovely girl
But you're hiding hurt I can tell
Now your lover's run off with a younger girl
And he's taken all your drugs as well
