Needy Man

I'm running out of time before I get what's rightfully mine.
I have a desire that can't be denied.
No matter what this is what I need.

Oh needy man, oh needy man!
You need so much!
You need respect,
You need a touch.
You need love,
You need warmth, 
You need more than what it's worth!
Endless needs that you deny,
But behold your endless needy eye! 
You see, you want,
But cannot have,
And go about a needy man! 
Oh needy man, oh needy man!

And so time passes and the heart's greed hungers,
Salivating over leftover dreams as the hours grow longer. 
5, 10, and very soon 15 years have flown by,
Yet many needs of mine refuse to die.

Oh needy man, oh needy man!
You need so much!
You need respect,
You need a touch.
You need love,
You need warmth, 
You need more than what it's worth!
Endless needs that you deny,
But behold your endless needy eye! 
You see, you want,
But cannot have,
And go about a needy man! 
Oh needy man, oh needy man!

The once young dreams are all but faded,
As I come to grasp this life undulated.
My hopes and goals have narrowed down, and what is clear is now deeply sound. 

Oh needy man, oh needy man!
You need so much!
You need respect,
You need a touch.
You need love,
You need warmth, 
You need more than what it's worth!
Endless needs that you deny,
But behold your endless needy eye! 
You see, you want,
But cannot have,
And go about a needy man! 
Oh needy man, oh needy man!

I see the need is very deep.
So deep, in fact, it is unseen.  
No childhood dream or passion knows, but the need inside is my Spirit's glow. 

To know the God who made my soul, 
has, from the beginning, made me need His love in that gaping hole.
