You got to treat each one like they wanna be treated
Give each one special needs, if they need it
Good ones don't lie
Babies don't trick
A few will get ruined
But we're all kinda sick
And its not as if your egos defeated

They say tell me
They say tell me, no
They say hold me
They say touch me, no
I've got my needs
Not that they need you
You say you need
I say help me
Help me, yeah

I give my soul to the hand that dealt me
Give my hand to the souls who tell me

They say hold me
They say touch me, no
I've got my needs
Not that they need you
You say you need
I say help me
Help me, yeah

They say tell me, no
They say hold me
They say touch me, no
I've got my needs
Not that they need you
I say help me
Help me, yeah

You say tell
You say tell me, no
I say hold me
You say touch me, no
I got my needs
I've been nearly you
I've seen too many
