Oh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah hey
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

I, I, I, I need your therapy
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I, I, I, I need you to come and lay hands on me
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I, I, I, I need your therapy (therapy)
Hey

He lays me on the couch and says
"How has your day been?
Tell me your problems
I'll help you solve them
Come on let's talk about it"
He sits next to me and smiles
Listens to all of my words
Relaxes all of my nerves

Like breathe in (breathe in)
Let it go (shout it out)
Take deeps breathes and real slow, calm down
Close my eyes (soft spoke)
Ease my mind (take control)
From my body please
Work your psychology

You've taken good care of me
Always been there for me
Boy I can't bear to leave
'Cause I need your therapy
You've given me everything
So much I ever could need
Without you I'm weak in the knees
I need your therapy

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I, I, I, I need your therapy
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I, I, I, I need you to come and lay hands on me
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I, I, I, I need your therapy (therapy)
Hey

He puts his hand on my lower back
His face in my neck and
Says something to make me laugh
Makes me forget I was mad
His touch feels so right
It's like he's reading my mind, yeah
I need him all the time

Like breathe in (breathe in)
Let it go (shout it out)
Take deeps breathes and real slow, calm down
Close my eyes (soft spoke?)
Ease my mind (take control)
From my body please
Work your psychology

You're taken good care of me
Always been there for me
Boy I can't bear to leave
Cause I need your therapy
You've given me everything
So much I ever could need
Without you I'm weak in the knees
I need your therapy

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I, I, I, I need your therapy
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I, I, I, I need you to come and lay hands on me
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I, I, I, I need your therapy (therapy)
Yeah yeah

When it feels like I'm losing power
(Oh india.Arie)
When I feels like a wilting flower
(You make me feel irie)
The way you touch me says "I'm there for you"
(I'm there for you)
It heals me just to hear you say
("I love you")

You've taken good care of me
Always been there for me
Boy I can't bear to leave
Cause I need your therapy
You've given me everything
So much I ever could need
Without you I'm weak in the knees
I need your therapy

You've taken good care of me
Always been there for me
Boy I can't bear to leave
Cause I need your therapy
You've given me everything
So much I ever could need
Without you I'm weak in the knees
I need your therapy

Oh oh oh oh oh oh




(I need your therapy)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, yeah, yeah
