Testo We Don't Need It - Solomon Burke
Testo della canzone We Don't Need It (Solomon Burke), tratta dall'album Like a Fire
Here I am at home, mm, mm, mm
I was afraid to get out of the car
So I just sat there, I just sat there
How was I gonna tell them that I lost my job?
Gotta go in there, gotta go in there
So we gathered 'round the table, told them the news
And the look of desperation nearly broke me in two
Said, "I know you want it, them running shoes
Gonna have to wait, they gonna have to wait
Darling, I know you wanted that dress in the window
We gon' get it, but it won't be now"
Then my little girl looked at me with those big, round eyes
And the words she told me almost made me cry
We don't need it, we can do without it
We gon' make it, no doubt about it
We gon' stick together, make it better
We don't need it, all we need is you
My son said, "Daddy, I got sixteen bucks
Why don't you take it? I want you to take it
The next-door neighbor asked me to rake the leaves
And I'm gon' do it, I'm sure gon' do it
'Cause I wanna help you out any way I can
It's about time I learned just to be a man"
My wife said, "Darling, we got so much stuff
Just sittin' around here, just sittin' around
Like grandma's china and her sterling silverware
Just sittin' around here, just gatherin' dust
And ever since she passed away, we ain't used it yet
So let's put it out in the front yard, see what we can get"
'Cause we don't need it, we can do without it
We gon' make it, no doubt about it
We gon' stick together, make it better
We don't need it, all we need is you
Days and weeks and months went by
The big boss called in the nick of time
Got my check and I brought it home
Daddy, it's been tough, but we've been blessed
Let's get them shoes and that brand new dress
We don't need it, we can do without it
We gon' make it, no doubt about it
We gon' stick together, make it better
We don't need it, all we need is you, you
We don't need it, we can do without it
We gotta make it, no doubt about it
We gon' stick together and make it better
We don't need it, all we need is you, lovin' you, you
We can do without it
We gon' make it, no doubt about it
We gon' stick together, make it better
We don't need it, all we need is you
We don't need it, we can do without it
We gon' make it, no doubt about it
We gon' stick together, make it better
