Just What I Needed Lyrics by Marcus Miller

Suddenly

1983

I can't believe you made me wait so long, so long
Just to get to you
But it was just what I needed
And I can't believe I stood in line so long, so long
Just to get to you
But it was just what I needed
It's just what I needed to get my head screwed back on straight
I needed the time to erase all the dreams I had (dreams I had) of loving you
Just what I needed (just what I needed)
And I can't believe I wasted all those tears, my dear
With those silly dreams
But it was just what I needed
'Cause now when you call me, I can tell you I don't need you
I broke those chains called my dreams, yes it seems
All those lonely times, yes they were just what I needed
It's just what I needed to get my head screwed back on straight
I needed the time to erase all the dreams I had (dreams I had) of loving you
Just what I needed (just what I needed)
It's just what I needed (just what I needed), oh yeah
It's just what I needed (just what I needed)
I broke those chains called my dreams, yeah
You won't find me following you around no more
I'm no longer chained to my fantasies like before
Just what I needed, oh darling
Just what I needed, darling, yeah
Whoa oh, it's just what I needed to get my head screwed back on straight
I needed the time to erase all the dreams I had (dreams I had) of loving you
Just what I needed (just what I needed)
It's just what I needed (just what I needed)
Just what I needed (just what I needed), oh yeah
Well, I broke those chains called my dreams
It's just what I needed, baby
It's just what I, I needed, darling
You won't find me following you around no more
I'm no longer chained to my fantasies like before
Just what I needed, mhmm, babe
Just what I needed, darling
