No Need Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

No Need

Shes a broken winged angel
Refugee from things her mama knew
And shes done everything the Bible say not to do
Well I dont know if she believes in jesus
The good book, or even satan you see
Im just trying to get her to believe in me
Oh, cause when I see her face
No matter where I am Im in the right place
And the girls I left behind
Oh, they never satisfied me, its so true
But baby, baby, you do
Shes the belle of eighth street
High societys midnight vamp
Oh, shes my queen and Im her tramp
Yes shes a free falling flyer
And she flows whichever way that the wind blows
And shes the only woman I never knew
Who could teach me more about me, bind me in chains
And still let me be free
My heart swells up inside
Starts beating like Im gonna die
And my body breaks in pain
As she falls down on me like the rain
Its only her and my songs that keep me from going insane
And I guess Im one of those people
Who measures love in pain
You see, I never had too much personal success
And to me theres nothing sweeter
Than a teardrop of rain
I just love that feeling of sadness
Oh and it worries me so ...

Shes my west side angel
She looks so funky in her hollywood wing
And she knows how I stumble when I talk
So she says: "dont talk, babe, just sing"
And I have seen her body in candle glow
In the deep heart of the night
When you finally let loose of everything
Oh, and she loves me like such a good woman
And still, oh, shes just a sweet young thing
And I know this might sound crazy
Or just the words of a young fool
But I swear Id be on the floor
And she ever walked out the door
I swear Id wish that she would shoot me first
And I know that sounds insane but sometimes I believe its true
And thats what scares me worst

cause I dance for her
Take any chance for her
And I play for her
Lord God knows I play for her
And I need for her
And I bleed for her
