The Fact Is (I Need You) - Jill Scott

I can pay my own light bill baby

Pump my own gas in my own car

I can buy my own shoe collection

I’ve been blessed thus far

I can kill the spider above my bed

Although it’s hard because I’m scared

I can even stain and polyurethane

But some things just don’t change

I need you, yeah

Sometimes so hard to say

I need you

Some things remain

I can buy my own groceries baby

Get my hair tight my nails right

I can floss my own bling bling

Write the the words to the songs I sing

I can even raise the child we’ll make

Make sure he’s loved and knows what God gave us

I can teach him how to walk and stand

But he needs you to help him be a man

So how do i say We need you

Some things don’t change

I could be congresswoman or a garbage woman

Or police officer or a carpenter

I could be a doctor and a lawyer

And a mother and a «good God what chu

Donet to me?»

kind of lover I can be

I could be a computer analyst

The queen with the nappy hair raising her fist

Or I could be much more and a myraid of this

Hot as the summer

Sweet as the first kiss

And even though I can do all these things

I need you

And even though I can do all these things

We need you (x4)
