The Need To Be

Album: Gladys Knight & The Pips - The Collection Durasi: 4:12

To fulfill the need to be who I am

in this world, is all I ask

I can't pretend to be something that I am not

and I won't wear a mask.

Ooh, you touched my face with love in your eyes

but will you touch my heart

with the understanding that it takes

to realize, I just can't play a part.

Ooh, it's a need to be true to myself

and make my own mistakes.

I don't want to lean too hard on someone else

no matter what it takes.

So if you are sure it's love

just be sure it's love for this thing called me

cause I am who I am and I have the need to be.

I'm not fool enough to ever thing

that I could be the master of my faith

but it's up to me to choose my road in life

rocky may well be the road I take the one I take

There's a need to be something more

then just a reflection of a man.

I can't survive in someone's shadow

I need my very own little spot to stand

If you sure it's love

just be sure it's love

for me and only me

cause I am what I am and I have the need to be.

Just be sure it's love

real real sure it's love

for me for little old me

cause I am what I am I am what I am and I have the need to be
