I Think I Need a Little
Tom Scharpling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Look at everything you are
Look at everything you do
It's incredible, as incredible as you
And me
I guess I'm content to be
On the arm of someone who
And it's a full-time job admiring
All the ways that you're inspiring
If I had my way, I'd do it all day
That's why it's really, really hard to say
I think I need a little cha-a-ange
I think I need a little cha-a-ange
I think I need a little cha-a-a-a-a-a-ange
Oh, I always did believe
That love is all you need
To be a happy man
Oh, that may have been naive
I guess I need to eat
That wasn't in the plan
And it's a full-time job admiring
All the ways that you're inspiring
If I had my way, I'd do it all day
The only problem is it doesn't pay
I think I need a little cha-a-ange
I think I need a little cha-a-ange
I think I need a little cha-a-a-a-a-a-ange
In Tom Scharpling's song "I Think I Need a Little," the lyrics explore the singer's admiration for someone they are in a relationship with. The song begins by acknowledging the subject's incredible qualities, highlighting their actions and personality traits. The singer finds satisfaction in being with this person, recognizing their own contentment on the arm of someone so remarkable.
The chorus introduces a shift in the singer's perspective. While they appreciate and admire their partner deeply, they begin to feel the need for change in their own life. The repetition of "I think I need a little change" reflects a desire for something different, perhaps a break from the routine or a shift in their own personal growth.
The second verse delves further into the theme of change. The singer expresses a belief they held previously, that love alone would bring happiness. However, they now realize that this idea may have been naive. They acknowledge the need to take care of their own needs, like the necessity to eat, which is a practicality they hadn't fully considered before.
The chorus is repeated once more, emphasizing the desire for change and acknowledging that the admiration and inspiration from their partner, though fulfilling, cannot substitute for personal growth and fulfillment. The song touches on the complexities of relationships, the need for self-care, and the recognition that change is essential for personal well-being.
