NEED YOU
Natalie Stewart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm so powerful
I'm power filled
Me she I sometimes I reach out for you
I know I should be on my own
Cause I'm grown
Be happy baby
You don't have to be anywhere for me I want you to do what you have to do
I'm gonna do the same too
You be there when I need you even, if you cannot come when I call you
Simply means that I can handle this without you
And I know that next I see you it will be just when I need you
You be there when I need you even if you cannot come when I call you
Simply means that I can handle this without you and
I know that next I see you it will be just when I need you
I'm acting like I'm someone else some someone else,
Some kind of excuse me please have you seen my mind I'm trying to find it
I'm acting like I'm on a shelf waiting to be purchased
Like my best before is the best in store and I'm a product of myself
You don't have to be anywhere for me I want you to do what you have to do
Be happy baby
You don't have to be anywhere for me I want you to do what you have to do
I've got things to do too
You be there when I need you even, if you cannot come when I call you
Simply means that I can handle this without you
And I know that next I see you it will be just when I need you
You be there when I need you even if you cannot come when I call you
Simply means that I can handle this without you and
I know that next I see you it will be just when I need you
I think I got lost somewhere inside my emancipation
This fascination with unification has become a bit of an obsession
That's my confession
I'm going to approach this differently
I'm feeling solutionary
Don't be afraid of me
You're yet to see how free looks like on me
You be there when I need you even, if you cannot come when I call you
Simply means that I can handle this without you
And I know that next I see you it will be just when I need you
You be there when I need you even if you cannot come when I call you
Simply means that I can handle this without you and
I know that next I see you it will be just when I need you
You be there when I need you even if you cannot come when I call you
Simply means that I can handle this without you and
I know that next I see you it will be just when I need you
You be there when I need you even if you cannot come when I call you
Simply means that I can handle this without you and
I know that next I see you it will be just when I need you
You be there when I need you even if you cannot come when I call you
Simply means that I can handle this without you and
I know that next I see you it will be just when I need you
You be there when I need you even if you cannot come when I call you
Simply means that I can handle this without you and
I know that next I see you it will be just when I need you
In the song "Need You," Natalie Stewart explores the theme of needing someone even though you are independent and powerful. She questions why she feels so needy despite being filled with power. She acknowledges that she should be able to handle things on her own but sometimes finds herself reaching out for someone. However, she affirms that the person doesn't have to be there for her all the time and they should do what they need to be happy.
The chorus emphasizes her self-reliance and her ability to handle things without the person being physically present. She repeats that even if the person cannot come when she calls, they will be there when she needs them. In the second verse, she talks about losing herself in her emancipation and unification. She admits that it has become an obsession and finds a resolution to approach things differently - to become solutionary. She assures the person that they have yet to see how free she looks and to not be afraid of her.
Overall, "Need You" presents a complex mix of emotions and ideas about relationships and independence. It shows that even strong, independent people can still need someone, but that doesn't mean they are helpless. It's about finding a balance and accepting that needing someone doesn't make you weak, but rather it's human.
