Your Love is What I Need
By Marty Nelson
c. 2011
 
I got a little shack up in Beverly Hills.
A neat shot of Chivas always gives me chills.
My Silver-Raith Rolls is so sweet and smooth.
It was a long time comin’ but I beat the blues.
Folks say that I’ve got everything, but can’t you see
That it’s a lie.
Your love is what I need.
 
Born on the riverside of the Union Rail tracks
With trouble as a middle name, you watched your back.
But I played it right and I pressed my bets.
Come seven, come eleven – Lady Luck did the rest.
Folks say that I’ve got everything, but can’t you see
That it’s a lie.
Your love is what I need.
 
I’d bet the roll in my pocket and the deed to my soul
That I could die a happy man without an ounce of gold.
I’d give it all up and drop down to my knees
To win the Triple Crown – your love is what I need.
 
I never count on anything that I can’t touch.
If you settle for less than the best, it’s a bust.
So let me tell you three things that I swear to believe –
Your eyes, your lips, and your love for me.
Folks say that I’ve got everything, but can’t you see
That it’s a lie.
Your love is what I need.
Folks say that I’ve got everything, but can’t you see
Oh lovely Lady can’t you see
That it’s a lie.
Your love is what I need.
