Just What I Needed Lyrics

I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time
'Cause when you're standin' oh so near
I kinda lose my mind

It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
And I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time

I don't mind you hangin' out
And talkin' in your sleep
It doesn't matter where you've been
As long as it was deep, yeah

You always knew to wear it well and
You look so fancy I can tell
And I don't mind you hangin' out
And talkin' in your sleep

I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed

I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time, time
'Cause when you're standin' oh so near
I kinda lose my mind, yeah

It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
And I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time

I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed

I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed (yeah, yeah)

So bleed me

You're just what I needed
You're just what I needed
You're just what I needed
Yeah, yeah-yeah

What is the Meaning of Just What I Needed?

Dive into a classic tune that beautifully captures the essence of infatuation and the allure of an enigmatic love interest. This song is about a person who is captivated by another, despite their seemingly indifferent or even wasteful behavior. The lyrics suggest a magnetic attraction that goes beyond physicality, hinting at an emotional connection that makes every moment spent together worthwhile, even if it seems aimless. The repeated phrase "you're just what I needed" connotes a sense of fulfillment found in this peculiar relationship. It's not about idealized romance, but rather about finding someone who fits into your life in their unique way - someone who feeds your soul and brings color to your world, even if they make you bleed emotionally at times.
