lyrics

some creeps come up and solict me, then they try to trick me
with their promises of paradise
and they wave their arms out on the streets, kickin' up the heat
and yet they don't even know the word why
i don't need no prophet, babe, so don't spool me nobody's lines,
cause' all i really want from you is someone i can get behind

some freaks, they been tryin' to cheat me,
they try so hard and then they beat me
like the world is just a game to win
but they know i got something that they don't,
and they're never going to until they decide to look in
i don't need no criminal, and honey i don't need no king
cause' all i really want from you is whatever you came to bring

some fools, they come up and salute me, ask me how i'm doing
while they use me for their own ends
and watch, while other people shoot me,
i thank god above me, cause' i wouldn't want to be them
i don't need no loverboy, and i certainly don't need no friend
so all i really want from you is somebody who don't pretend

now some sheep, they don't even say a word
(like some broken bird pluckin' their feathers inside of a cage)
and speak, only when they're spoken to,
and try not to show it, but it's writ' in the lines of their face
i don't need no joker babe, and i don't need no flyin' ace
so all i really want from you is someone who can play it straight

some dreams, they appear just to fool me, try to seduce me
underneath the shelter of my sheets
and hook me onto my fears, and wanton veneers,
like i got nowhere else i could be
i don't need no universe, and honey i don't need no stars
so all i really want from you is whatever... you really are
