I Need You
Alexias Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your a liar and your a cheat
And I don't know why
I let you do these things to me
My friends keep tellin' me
That you ain't no good
Whoa-oh-oh but they don't know
I guess I'm all uptight
And I'm stuck like glue
Cause I ain't never, I ain't never
I ain't never, no no
Loved a man, the way that I, I love a you
Some time ago I thought
You would run out of fools
But I was so wrong
You gotta one that you'll never lose
The way you treat me it's a shame
How could ya hurt me so bad'
Baby you know that I'm the best thing
That you ever had
Kiss me once again
Don't ya never, never say that we're through
Cause I ain't never, never, never no no
Loved a man, the way that I, I love you
I can't sleep at night and I can't leave your body
I guess I'll never be free
Since you got your love in me
Whoa, whoa, whoa
'Cause I never never loved a man....
Alexia's song "I Need You" is a classic love ballad that speaks to many people who have found themselves in toxic relationships. The lyrics revolve around the love/hate relationship the singer has with her partner as she acknowledges that he is a heartbreaker, a liar and a cheat. Despite this, she is deeply in love with him and can't seem to leave him. The first verse expresses the singer's frustration with herself for allowing her partner to treat her poorly. The second verse deals with the opinions of her friends who warn her that her partner is no good but she can't seem to leave him because she is deeply in love with him. The chorus then repeats the sentiment that the singer has never loved a man in the way that she loves her partner.
Alexia's voice brings out the emotions and complexities of the lyrics, as she sings passionately about the frustrations of loving someone who is not good for her. The pain of unrequited love is palpable as she sings about not being able to leave her partner despite all his faults. The lyrics also have a hopeful tone as she urges her partner to kiss her once again and promises never to leave him. Overall, the song captures the paradoxical feelings of being in love with someone who is not good for you.
