Whatcha Need

Written by Bootsauce, from Bull, 1992




Not like I knew you were there
Through your friends, I noticed your stare
The first hold was bold as love
Our first night was almost all right

Whatcha need for changing those emotions
Whatcha need for living out your greatest fears
Whatcha need for changing those emotions
Whatcha need for love

Not like we said that we were there
Couldn't make much difference
Not like I said that you ever cared
Your family and friends were the liars
Your simple ties were meant to castrize
Too hurtful, too painful, the signs
Never said that we were to share
A bed, and children to bear

Whatcha need for changing those emotions
Whatcha need for living out your greatest fears (whatcha need)
Whatcha need for changing those emotions (I know whatcha need)
Whatcha need for changing those emotions (I know whatcha need)
Whatcha need for living out your greatest fears (whatcha see)
Whatcha need for changing those emotions (I know whatcha need)
Whatcha need for changing those emotions

Stillborn was not what we ever planned
It's just what we're dealt in the hand
Her loss of blood was our loss of blood
Some cruel cold touch from above

(I know whatcha need, whatcha need...) x 2

Whatcha need for changing those emotions
Whatcha need for living out your greatest fears
Whatcha need for changing those emotions
Whatcha need for love (x 4)

(Group) Some cruel cold touch from above...
