That's All I Need
The Lion King 1 1/2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It`s so embarrassing how you see me
And it`s embarrassing that you say you hate me
But when you have problems in your life you need me
`Cause then you feel so fucking lonely
And then I am the only one
Oh please, oh please, oh please come on
You don`t care about my life
I won`t help you once
And I for sure won`t help you twice
Get the fuck out of my face
I don`t wanna see you anymore
I try to forget you
But it`s hard if you knock at my door
And now you need me
Ouh yeah I know it
But why did you leave me when you love it
When you love it to talk to me
When you love it to spend time with me
To look me in my eyes
And say that we are meant to be
Every word you said was a lie
And it will never be easy to say goodbye
I really want to help you, but I am scared
That I`m going to fall in love with you again
It`s so embarrassing how you treat me
It`s so embarrassing how you see me
And it`s embarrassing that you say you hate me
But when you have problems in your life you need me
`Cause then you feel so fucking lonely
And then I am the only one
Oh please, oh please, oh please come on
You don`t care about my life
You just need some good advice
I won`t help you once
And I for sure won`t help you twice
Oh please, Oh please go now
It`s better for me, it`s better for me
I know that you need me

It`s so embarrassing how you treat me
I feel humiliated by the way you behave towards me
It`s so embarrassing how you see me
I am ashamed of how you perceive me
And it`s embarrassing that you say you hate me
It is mortifying that you express your dislike towards me
But when you have problems in your life you need me
However, when you encounter difficulties, you rely on me for support
`Cause then you feel so fucking lonely
Because then you experience great isolation
And then I am the only one
And I am the sole person you turn to
Oh please, oh please, oh please come on
Please, I implore you, to stop this behavior and seek help elsewhere
You don`t care about my life
You have no regard for my well-being
You just need some good advice
All you want is some guidance
I won`t help you once
I refuse to assist you even once
And I for sure won`t help you twice
And I am certain that I will not help you again
Get the fuck out of my face
I want you to leave my sight immediately
I don`t wanna see you anymore
I am done with you and your behavior
I try to forget you
I attempt to erase you from my memory
But it`s hard if you knock at my door
But it is difficult when you come to me for help
And now you need me
And now you require my assistance
Ouh yeah I know it
Yes, I am aware of that
But why did you leave me when you love it
But why did you abandon me if you enjoyed our time together
When you love it to talk to me
When you enjoyed conversing with me
When you love it to spend time with me
When you enjoyed spending time with me
To look me in my eyes
To gaze into my eyes
And say that we are meant to be
And claim that we were meant to be together
Every word you said was a lie
Every utterance you made was false
And it will never be easy to say goodbye
It will always be difficult to bid farewell
I really want to help you, but I am scared
I genuinely want to aid you, but I am afraid
That I`m going to fall in love with you again
That I will develop feelings for you once more
Oh please, oh please go now
Please, I implore you, to leave now
It`s better for me, it`s better for me
It is better for my well-being for you to depart
I know that you need me
I understand that you require my assistance

How on earth have I grown up with this movie for the past 10 - 15 years and never heard this full version?! Nathan Lane is absolutely amazing; so much character and passion. This is one of those Disney sequels that is legitimately a standalone hilarious and heartwarming film.
@eaglerockzproductions7278
The second half of the song is heard during towards the end of the end credits. 🙂
@BG-be8di
yeah, Nathan Lane really hit the mark with the Timon's character and his personality, sings it incredible with a rhytm without equal.. And finally we listen to the complete song here
@Mariokemon
SAME. IVE WATCHED THIS MOVIE SO MANY TIMES GROWING UP, AND IVE NEVER HEARD THE FULL VERSION! the funny thing is, I remember when I was like 10, i looked up the lyrics, and was so confused when the website said the line was "a dream subline, its timona-rumba tiiiiime" cuz the movie lyric is very clearly "its hyena time"
