I Wouldn’t Need You (Like I Do) Lyrics by Rick Elias

I can still recall a time When your back streets and alleys Were all mine I walked down hallways far from grace Now it looks so far away My life, a three-act comedy First ambition, next deceit Then at last, dear vanity It's true many fools had gone before Where they paused at the threshold Without hesitation I stepped through and demanded more Imagine an actor in this final role Who stands between Heaven's angels And Babylon And they tell us down here Wе can save ourselves But that isn't vеry good news 'Cause if I could have I would have saved myself And I wouldn't need You like I do I wouldn't need You like I do I wouldn't need You like I do, huh! Once the ruler of a den of thieves Longed to be the prince of his destiny "Give me my due and I'll leave" I said But one drop of blood fell down from above Streaked the sky, and covered my head Imagine a beggar with a fistful of gold Who stands between Heaven's angels And Babylon And they tell us down here We can save ourselves But that isn't very good news 'Cause if I could have I would have saved myself And I wouldn't need You like I do I wouldn't need You like I do And I knew this farce Was coming to a close I watched you dance on my grave As the credits rolled This man stares unblinking At the center of the crossroads And barely withstands that devil's curse And they tell us down here We should save ourselves But that isn't very good news 'Cause if we could have We would have saved ourselves And we wouldn't need You like we do I wouldn't need You like I do I wouldn't need You like I do I wouldn't need You like I do I wouldn't need You like I do, huh! I wouldn't need You like I do I wouldn't need You like I do I wouldn't need You like I do I wouldn't need You like I do, do, do No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Whoo-hoo!
