    “The Fact Is (I Need You)”

    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 oh
    I need you
    Some things remain
    I could buy my own groceries baby
    Get my hair tight, my nails right
    I can floss my own bling bling
    Write 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
    We need you
    So hard to 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 girl
    God what you’ve done to me
    Kind of lover I could be
    I could be a computer analyst, the Queen with the nappy hair raising her fist
    Or I could be much more and a myriad 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
    We need you
    We need you
    And even though I can do all these things by my damn self
    I need you
    I do, I do, I do, I do
    And even though I can do all these things
    I need you
    We need you
    We do
    We need you yeah
    We need you
