Listen to poem:

Needs Must

[Verse]
No one will ever understand
Sometimes not even i can
I just know that love will never, ever let go
We seem to always want the thing that will hurt us the most
I have cried the rivers dry
But if you asked for one more try….
[Chorus]
If you ask me to
I will come to you
Down lonely highways in my car
It doesn't matter how far
I'll run to you as fast as I can
I'll come cause you are the only man
No matter what has come between us
Or how long it has been
even if you've broken my trust,
Because we know, needs must
When it comes to us
[Verse]
I guess you could call it addiction
You are my affliction
But the side effects and the symptoms
Are out of my control
Please don't take advantage
I'm already damaged goods
But I just can't let you go
No I can't let you go
[Chorus]
If you ask me to
I will come to you
Down lonely highways in my car
It doesn't matter how far
I'll run to you as fast as I can
I'll come cause you are the only man
No matter what has come between us
Or how long it has been
if you've broken my trust,
Because we know ,needs must
When it comes to us
[Bridge]
So, years from now
if you see how
it looks like I've moved on
I'd still run to you if you asked me to
Even though it would be wrong
No, I've never been that strong
[Chorus]
If you ask me to
I will come to you
Down lonely highways in my car
It doesn't matter how far
I'll run to you as fast as I can
I'll come cause you are the only man
No matter what has come between us
Or how long it has been
if you've broken my trust,
Because we know needs must
When it comes to us
Ohohoh ohohoh
