"You Needed Me" lyrics - SOLOMON BURKE

SOLOMON BURKE
"You Needed Me"
(Randy Goodrum)

I cried a tear
You wiped it dry
I was confused
You cleared my mind

I sold my soul
You bought it back to me
And helped me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me

You gave me strength
To stand alone again
To face the world
Out on my own again

You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost, almost see eternity
Yes, you needed me, you needed me

And I can't believe it's you
I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there

And I'll never leave, why should I leave?
I'd be a fool, a fool
'Cause I've finally found someone like you
Who really, really, really, really cares

You held my hand
When I was cold
When I was lost
You took me home

You gave me hope, hope
When I was at my end
Turned my lies
Oh, back into truth again
You even called me friend

You gave me strength
To stand alone again
To face the world
Out on my own again

You put me high, high, high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
Oh, you needed me, you needed me

Yes, you needed me
(You needed me)
You needed me
(You needed me)
Oh, oh, oh, you needed me
You needed me
