Not What You Need Lyrics

Every time I see you it's the same old thing

You say I'm a part of your destiny

I have a difference of opinion here

Which you clearly fail to want to see

There's so much more to me that you don't know

With your rose-coloured glasses in place

There's better men out there for someone like you

Can't you see the trouble in my face

'Cause I'm not the prize you think you've found

But I'm everything your mother ever warned you about

I'll give you the harsh reality

Though I may be who you want

Baby I'm just not what you need

Baby I'm just not what you need

What is it in me you believe you see

And why is that important to you

You think you know exactly who I am

But it's clear to me you don't have a clue

The path you really should be travellin' on

Is a world away from this dark place

You know I'm about as bad as they come

An' no credit to the human race

'Cause I'm not the prize you think you've found

But I'm everything your mother ever warned you about

I'll give you the harsh reality

Though I may be who you want

Baby I'm just not what you need

Baby I'm just not what you need no oh

There's so much more to me that you can't see

With your rose-coloured glasses in place

You know I'm about as bad as they come

An' no credit to the human race

'Cause I'm not the prize you think you've found

But I'm everything your mother ever warned you about

I'll give you the harsh reality

Though I may be who you want may be who you want

Cause I'm not the prize you think you've found

But I'm everything your mother ever warned you about

I'll give you the harsh reality

Though I may be who you want

Baby I'm just not what you need

Baby I'm just not what you need oh oh no no no

Baby I'm just not what you need no oh

Baby I'm just not what you need
