Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Give me a reason
Why I'm feeling this way
Tryin' all the time
To keep the blues at bay
[PreChorus]
When I sleep at night, you're all I see
You're in my head, like cable TV
It's no use, when it's self-abuse
[Chorus]
But I don't need love to get me through
No, I don't need love, all shiny and new
I don't need love, tell myself that it's true
I may not need love, but I sure need you
[Chorus]
Oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
My friends they're all asking
Am I still that way?
I tell them that I'm livin'
Day by day
[PreChorus]
Ooh, they wouldn't be askin'
They just wouldn't say
But I gave up on hidin' it yesterday
They're lookin' straight through
And I know what they see
[Chorus]
But I don't need love to get me through
No, I don't need love, all shiny and new
I don't need love, tell myself that it's true
I may not need love, but I sure need you
[Chorus]
I don't need love to get me through
No, I don't need love, all shiny and new
I don't need love, tell myself that it's true
I may not need love, but I sure need you
[Bridge]
Livin' on daydreams
It's not like the real thing
But it's all that I got, and a liar, I'm not
But I'm lyin' when I'm telling the truth
Yeah
[Chorus]
I don't need love to get me through
No, I don't need love, all shiny and new
I don't need love, tell myself that it's true
I may not need love, but I sure need you
[Outro]
I don't need love
I don't need love
Oh, I don't need love
Tell myself that it's true
I may not need love, but I sure need you
Yeah
