Well I took my car to find you
Drove down every lane
Looked in all the backyards
Then I went back through again
Then I took a Greyhound
Headed way out West
I found some friends who knew you
But they told me you had already left
Oh why do I need you so
Like a cop needs a crime
Well Iâve practiced in the mirror
Saying things to make my mind go clear
Prayed until my knees were black and blue
And if love is a cut well itâs one that never seems to shut
Comes up every morning like itâs new
And I still want you
Remember when we travelled up
To see the Arctic sun
Stopped to buy you cigarettes
Came back and you were gone
Then I had to follow
A trail of unpaid bills
You maxed out all my credit cards
And took all of the money from my till
Oh why do I need you so
Like a drowning man needs a line
Well Iâm burning with desire
Standing way too close to every fire
I know Iâll pay the price when it comes due
And no matter how I try resolutions fall in record time
Thoughts of your sweet smile coming through
And I still want you
Oh why do I need you so
Like a drunk needs wine
Well thereâs grey skies behind me
Thunder up ahead
Iâm hooked on this sensation
And Iâm easily misled
And if I ever find you
I hope I will someday
I wonât waste time on clever lines
Just smile at you and then Iâll walk away
Oh why do I need you so
Like a dying man needs time
Well Iâve practiced in the mirror
Saying things to make my mind go clear
Prayed until my knees were black and blue
And if love is a cut well itâs one that never seems to shut
Comes up every morning like itâs new
And I still want you
And I still want you
