Need Someone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I been living days like they'll never be over
As long as the sky is blue
But if I saw you side of the street, I'd pull over
Do things I thought I'd never do, do

[Pre-Chorus]
Laying with the windows down
The seats bent back all the way down
Saturday, drive through sunset, music loud
I'm okay

[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm happy
I don't need someone
I'm happy, I don't need your love
I'm happy but I want you
Yeah, I'm happy
I don't need someone
I'm happy but I want you

[Verse 2]
I'm always stuck on the inside
Winter or the summer days (Yeah)
But you look so good in my sunshine
Now I can never look away
[Pre-Chorus]
Laying with the windows down (-dows, -dows down)
The seats bent back all the way down (Oh)
Saturday, drive through sunset, music loud
I'm okay

[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm happy
I don't need someone (I don't need)
I'm happy, I don't need your love (Ooh)
I'm happy but I want you (I don't need)
Yeah, I'm happy
I don't need someone (No no)
I'm happy but I want you
(I'm happy but I want you)

[Bridge]
Laying with the windows down
The seats bent back all the way down
Saturday, drive through sunset, music loud
I'm okay

[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm happy
I don't
Need someone (I don't need)
I'm happy, I don't need your love
I'm happy but I want you, want you (I don't need)
Yeah, I'm happy
I don't need someone (No no no no no)
I'm happy but I want you
[Outro]
Run away, run, run, we run away
(I'm happy, I don't need your love)
Run away, run, run, we run away
(I'm happy but I want you)
Run away, run, run, we run away
(I'm happy, I don't need someone)
Run away, yeah
(I'm happy but I)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • 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 [?]

Genius Answer

I love what the song is saying: I don’t need someone, but I want you. It’s like what Cher said: ‘A man is not a necessity, a man is a luxury, like dessert.’ They’re yummy, they’re nice to have, but they’re not necessary for survival. This song makes you want to roll your windows down, look at a Malibu sunset and crank it up.
