We Don't Need It
Solomon Burke

Here I am at home (hrum, hrum hrum)

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

Son, I know you wanted

Them running shoes

Gonna have to wait, they going have to wait

Darling, I know you wanted

That dress in the window

We gonna 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!

(Chorus)

We don't need it,

We can do without it,

We going to make it

No doubt about it

We're going stick together

Make it better

We don't need it

All we need is you

My son said;

Daddy, I got sixteen books

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 gonna do it, I'm sure gonna do it

'Cause I wanna help you out

Anyway I can

It's about time I learn, just to be a man

My wife said;

Darling, we got so much stuff

Just sitting around here, just sitting around

Like grandmom's china, and the sterling silverware

Just sitting around here, just gathering dust

Ever since she past away

We ain't used it yet

So let's put it out in the front yard

And see what we can get

(Chorus)

And we don't need it

We can do without it,

We gonna make it

No doubt about it

We're going 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 a lickup town (?)

Got my check

And brought it home

Yeah, it's been tough

But we've been blessed

Let's get them shoes

And that brand new dress!

(Chorus)

We don't need it

We can do without it,

We gonna make it

No doubt about it

We're going 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 gonna make it

No doubt about it

We're going stick together

And make it better

We don't need it

All we need is you (loving you)

We can do without it

We gonna make it

No doubt about it

We're going stick together (begin fading)

And make it better

We don't need it

All we need is you

(Fade chorus)
