Gladys Knight - The Need To Be Lyrics
To fulfil the need to be who I am in this worldIs all I askI can't pretend to be something that I'm notAnd I wont wear a maskOoh, you touch my face with love in your eyesBut will you touch my heartWith the understanding that it takes to realiseI just can't play a partOh, a fantasy to be true to myselfAnd make no mistakesI don't want to need to hold someone elseNo matter what it takesSo if you're sure it's loveJust be sure it's loveFor this thing called meFor I am what I amAnd I have the need to beI'm not fool enoughTo ever think that I could be the master of my fateBut it's up to me to choose my roads in lifeThough rocky they may be, the ones I takeOh, the ones I takeThere's a need to be something moreThan just a reflection of a manI can't survive in someones shadowI need my very own little spot to standHey, if you're sure it's loveJust be sure it's loveFor me and only meCos I am what I amAnd I have the need to beOh, just be sure it's loveBe real sure it's loveFor me, for little old meCos I am what I amI am what I amAnd I have the need to be
