Needy Lyrics by Krista Knight, Dave Malloy

Don’t Stop Me

2015

HARPER:
BUT NOW I GUESS YOU’RE YOUR OWN PERSON
JANELLE:
YES I GUESS I’M MY OWN PERSON
HARPER:
WITH YOUR INDIVIDUAL THOUGHTS
JANELLE:
I HAVE INDIVIDUAL THOUGHTS
HARPER:
NOT MY PLAYTHING
JANELLE:
NOT YOUR PLAYTHING
HARPER:
NOT MY SIDEKICK
JANELLE:
NOT YOUR SIDEKICK
HARPER:
SO YOU DON’T NEED ME ANYMORE?
JANELLE:
Well...
HARPER:
Oh Janelle...
I KNOW I NEED YOU
AND I KNOW YOU NEED ME
AND MAYBE YOU NEED ME
A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN I NEED YOU
BUT THAT’S OKAY TOO
BOTH:
BECAUSE SO LONG AS I NEED YOU
AND SO LONG AS YOU NEED ME
NOTHING CAN CHANGE US
OR CHALLENGE OUR POINT OF VIEW
SO PROMISE YOU’LL BE TRUE
HARPER:
AND THAT YOU’LL ALWAYS BE HERE WHEN I WANT YOU TO
AND YOU’LL ALWAYS GO AWAY I’M SICK OF YOU
SING TO ME
CLING TO ME
BUT NOT TOO CLOSE
I WILL MAKE THE RULES
ABOUT WHAT’S NICE AND WHAT’S GROSS
IT’S A DELICATE BALANCE
THIS SYMBIOTIC TUG OF WAR
BETWEEN THE QUEEN AND HER SUBJECTS
BETWEEN ENDURED AND ADORED
JANELLE:
EVERYBODY HAS THEIR NEEDS
HARPER:
BUT SOME PEOPLE’S NEEDS
ARE NEEDIER THAN OTHERS
JANELLE:
I NEED YOU AND YOU NEED ME
HARPER:
BUT THE ANNOYING NEED
IS THE KIND OF NEED THAT SMOTHERS
JANELLE:
But do you think maybe he kind of likes me?
HARPER:
Why do you need him to like you?
I’m sure he likes you as much as half the other girls he’s slept with
JANELLE:
It’s not that many...
ROYSHANNA & NICKI:
Hi Cyrus!
HARPER:
You all think you can save him from his own grief
CYRUS:
I DON’T NEED ANYONE TO SAVE ME
I DON’T DESERVE IT
HARPER:
But you’re just using her!
HE NEEDS YOU TO MAKE HIMSELF FEEL GUILTY
AND HE NEEDS YOU TO MAKE HIMSELF FEEL NUMB
AND YOU NEED HIM TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL SEXY
AND YOU NEED HIM SO YOU DON’T FEEL SO DUMB
AND HE NEEDS ME TO MAKE HIMSELF FEEL HAUNTED
AND YOU NEED ME TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL WANTED
NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY
NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY
ALL THREE:
NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY
NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY
JANELLE:
So you’re saying if Cyrus and I are dating by Prom we can go in on a limo with you?
HARPER:
I’m saying he’ll never be beholden to you because he’s still in love with his ex-girlfriend, and has a deep need for auto-masochism
CYRUS:
It’s not an ex if we were still dating at the time
DAKOTA:
At the time of what?
ROGER:
She’s dead. Crushed in a car crash. Right after they had a fight
DAKOTAL
I didn’t hear about this
ROGER:
Really? Someone even got suspended for creating these t-shirts with her photo that said PANCAKE ANGEL
DAKOTA:
Oh. That’s dark
HARPER:
What do you need a boyfriend for anyway? I should be enough
JANELLE:
Yeah! I mean, okay. I mean...I don’t know
HARPER:
Besides, a relationship is not what you need right now
JANELLE:
Oh, yeah, totally
HARPER:
WHAT YOU NEED ARE QUICK, FLEETING HOOKUPS
JANELLE:
QUICK, FLEETING HOOKUPS
HARPER:
DISPOSABLE SEXTING
JANELLE:
DISPOSABLE SEXTING
HARPER:
IRONIC DISTANCE
JANELLE:
IRONIC DISTANCE
HARPER:
IRONIC DISTANCE
JANELLE:
IRONIC DISTANCE
HARPER:
AND UNREALISTIC MEDIA BASED EXPECTATIONS
Also Kawaii Asian cute things
JANELLE:
Check! But, but... isn’t Sailor Moon in a serious monogamous relationship with Tuxedo Mask?
HARPER:
You’re not listening Janelle!
HE NEEDS YOU TO MAKE HIMSELF FEEL GUILTY
AND HE NEEDS YOU TO MAKE HIMSELF FEEL NUMB
AND YOU NEED HIM TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL SEXY
AND YOU NEED HIM SO YOU DON’T FEEL SO DUMB
AND I NEED YOU TO MAKE MYSELF FEEL POWERFUL
AND I NEED HIM TO WIN THIS STUPID DANCE-A-THON
NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY
NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY
ALL THREE:
NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY
NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY NEEDY
