I Need You Lyrics
Knowing
Is what people tell you
That you're thinking wrong
Embrace you,
But they really mean "So long"
You talk to them
They laugh aloud
Yet they run to you
In any crowd
Please talk to me again
I need you
We're dancing
We will come and dance near you
We want to learn
Let us come and sitar with you
Distort my ears when
The music's loud
Yet you raise your hatchet
In the yellow crowd
Please talk to me again
I need you
Knowing
Is what people tell you
That you're thinking wrong
Embrace you,
But they really mean "So long"
You talk to them
They laugh aloud
Yet they run to you
In any crowd
Please talk to me again
I need you
Is what people tell you
That you're thinking wrong
Embrace you,
But they really mean "So long"
They laugh aloud
Yet they run to you
In any crowd
I need you
We will come and dance near you
We want to learn
Let us come and sitar with you
The music's loud
Yet you raise your hatchet
In the yellow crowd
I need you
Is what people tell you
That you're thinking wrong
Embrace you,
But they really mean "So long"
They laugh aloud
Yet they run to you
In any crowd
I need you
Great song written by Keith, basically about going out clubbing.
To me, this song seems to be about how fake people can be - 'embrace you, but they really mean so long': how people can say or do one thing to you but mean something completely different.
He either misses someone, or maybe is desperate to become part of the group of beautiful people. I think it's more of the latter, from 'we will come and dance with you, we want to learn'. It's interesting how the pronoun is we, not I (in this part of the song) but there we go, maybe it just sounded better.
