Chris Brown - I Needed You

I need... I needed  you

Told that I was supposed to fail
I would'nt amount to much of nothin'
Yes I pray there was days
I wondered if you really loved me
But baby you feel pain
Mama was sane when I felt like runnin' away
I couldn't take it
I'm so hinted, angry with all of the world
I couldn't keep friends just wishin'
You'd come back and see
My difficult times being an adolescent
And like so many just like me
Without a shoulder to lean

[Chorus:]
I needed you
When I needed a father figure
I needed you
To stop me from makin'the wrong decisions
At seventeen,
When the cold of the world
Had my back up against the wall
When temptation was calling me,
Didn't know which way to go
I needed you
I need, I needed you
I needed you
I need, I need you
Seventeen when the cold of the world
Had my back up against the wall
When temptation was calling me,
Didn't know which way to go

Mama had no financial help
And thoughts of breakin' the law came
Seein' her tryna hold down two jobs
Was tearin' up on me had a way (had a way)
All my friends was gettin' in it
It came time for me to get that dough
Wrong or right I had to go
For what I know

[Chorus:]
I needed you
When I needed a father figure
I needed you
To stop me from makin'the wrong decisions
At seventeen,
When the cold of the world
Had my back up against the wall
When temptation was calling me,
Didn't know which way to go
I needed you
I need, I needed you
I needed you
I need, I need you
Seventeen when the cold of the world
Had my back up against the wall
When temptation was calling me,
Didn't know which way to go

[Bridge:]
An Lord I pray
Give me strength to forgive them
And not hold all the I've hate I got
Even though the pains from this was too heavy
Lord I pray
Show my younger brothers
Growin' up without a father
How to turn what they have less into a legacy
Lord I pray
From the knowledge I ain't get
God, you gave me
When temptations was callin' me,
Didn't know which way to go
