Don't Need Me Too Much

By Patti Wood
Chorus written Spring of 2016 verse November

You came far too late and far too perfect
Why didn't you find me before I was a damaged man?
No matter how much you wish we were a sure fit
I can't be a better person than I am.

Don't need me too much
Don’t crave my touch
Don’t need me
Don’t need me, too much.

You smile and look up at me with your big eyes
You may think I’m just a diamond in the rough
I fear you’ll see through all my careful lies.
I’m hard black coal, I'm not enough not enough

Don't need me too much
Don’t crave my touch
Don’t need me
Don’t need me, too much.

I'll pretend this will work that you can heal me
I'll wait to leave you as long as I can
Help me keep this sweet illusion that I can feel things
Don’t make me hurt you. It’s just a game understand

Bridge
I don't have enough so don't ask for more
Don’t hold on too tight or I’ll let go
Honey I’ve got one foot out the door
Keep what you feel burning low

Don't need me too much
Don’t crave my touch
Don’t need me
Don’t need me, too much
Don’t need me Don’t neeeeed me too much.
