What I Need Lyrics by The Kite Machine

Lunatics EP

2015

[Verse 1]
Don't love for affection
I don't love for affection
Never rest
Don't settle for affection
Don't settle for affection
I know better
Don't flatter for the one-night stand
Don't flatter for the one-night stand
Do you get it?
I don't swagger for attention
Don't swagger for attention
I'ma go get a-
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know you're a little shy
[?]
And I know you're a little high
But don't feel the need to boast about it
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't need your money
Money’s not what I need
I don't want your money, my friend
You know just what I need
[Verse 2]
I don't strive for perfection
I don't strive for perfection
Never rest
Don't follow the conventions
I don't follow the conventions
I know better
Don't settle for the sugar-free shit
Don't settle for the sugar-free shit
Gotta get my [?]
Don't vote for a winner
Don't vote for a winner
I'ma go get a-
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't mean to be a drag
But gotta get this done
And I know that you tend to lag, but
Try to work it out
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't need your money
Money’s not what I need
I don't want your money, my friend
You know just what I need
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
I don't need your money
I don't need your fame
I don't want to be a pawn in your
Little game
I know you're a little shy
Try and get this done
And I know you're a little high
Know what I want
Isn't that right?
Isn't that right?
Isn't that right?
Isn't that right?
That right?
That right?
That right?
[Chorus]
I don't need your money
Money’s not what I need
I don't want your money, my friend
You know just what I need
