I don't need a fortune teller
I don't need me no M. D
I don't need some slick suit that's passed the bar
I don't need a politician
Or some preacher on TV
Folks to tell me how I've done so far

I just need you
I need you to want me
I want you to love me
The way I love you
Oh, for a friend
A friend you can count on
Be there for me and I'm yours till the end

Sagan's slingin' big bang
Nader's workin' on control
Einstein's Mr. Relativity
I don't need no revelation
Mystics cloud up things for me
And I don't need another mystery

I just need you
I need you to want me
I want you to love me
The way I love you
Oh, for a friend
A friend you can count on
Be there for me and I'm yours till the end

I just need you
I need you to want me
I want you to love me
The way I love you
Oh, for a friend
A friend you can count on
Be there for me and I'm yours till the end
