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
