Kind Of Needin' I Need

The boss needs me to come to work
In the morning, he told me so
My landlord needs me to pay
My rent or out I go

The parakeet needs me
To teach him a song
The puppy dog needs me
To bring him a bone

Everybody needs me
But something's wrong
That ain't the kinda needin' I need, baby
Ain't the kinda needin' I need

I need love, your kind of love
Tender warm and sweet
I need your lips to kiss me

And tell me I'm your man
Talk to me in the language of love
That's all I understand
And that's the kinda needin' I need

My next door neighbor needs me
To help him paint his fence
The kid with the bird and beads
Needs me to talk him some sense

The sailboat needs me to find some wind
Sail it up and down the water again
And you need me just to be your friend
And that ain't the kinda needin' I need, baby
Ain't the kinda needin' I need

That's the kinda needin' I need, baby
Ain't the kinda needin' I need
That's the kinda needin' I need, baby
Ain't the kinda needin' I need
