​i needed you Lyrics

[Chorus]
When I needed you the most, I needed you
When I needed you the most, I needed you, the most
Now I won't be there to give you what you need
Now I won't be there, no

[Post-Chorus]
Spent three whole days, on cocaine
Haven't slept a wink, ain't eat a thing
But you've been on my mind this whole time (This whole time)


[Verse 1]
And one of these things that you told me
Was never forget, you'll never be lonely
And I know that, and I know now

[Chorus]
Fact is when I needed you the most, I needed you
I fuckin' needed you the most, I needed you, the most
Now I won't be there to give you what you need
Now I won't be there, no

[Verse 2]
You know this was never really 'bout us
And everything was always 'bout you
You never knew a thing about trust
And I knew everything about you, what's happenin'?
Three whole years, they could go by
In the blink of an eye, and you won't know it, but
What a damn waste of time
[Chorus]
When I needed you the most, I needed you
When I needed you the most, I needed you, the most
Now I won't be there to give you what you need
Now I won't be there, no

[Post-Chorus]
Spent three whole days, on cocaine
Haven't slept a wink, ain't eat a thing
But you've been on my mind this whole time


[Outro]
To tell you that you're doin' it right when you're doin' it wrong
You're doin' it right when you're doin' it wrong
I can't lie no more
Yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
