As a child I missed a lot of love I never had
And daddy, he was distant, never there to hold my hand
Never bought the things he`d always promise to give me
Mother made a point of always watching over me
Days would go by and we would never see his face
In my mind I`d wonder does he have another place?
If and when he`d come in he would always be upset
All the kids were scared, his looks would always be a threat
CHORUS:
Now that you are older and you begin to see
Family`s important, to be there if you need
Father never taught us, these things mom said to me
Now the table`s turned so tell me you need me
Daddy daddy dearest, what is it you want from me
I won`t turn my back on you the way you did with me
Now you`re trying to give, I`m always reaching out to grab
I`ll give you what i can but i can`t give what i don`t have
Mother lends a shoulder, to cry on if you need
But are you there for mother when she needs your company?
Father never taught us, these things mom said to me
Now the table`s turned so tell me you need me
Say you need me
If you realize we need each other
we would be a closer family
I need you, yeah, I need you, and you know that
Say you need meCHORUS (2x)
Say you need me
Just you wait
You`ll need me
(how`d that groove go? hey!)
