All I Needed Was You Lyrics

The song All I Needed Was You is performed by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes .



Outside the church bells toll
For this wasteland, we call home
There's nowhere left to hide or run to

Daddy drank real hard late at night
He said, '€œWithout love, life's a long fight'€
l promised I'd win one fight for him, babe

The storm outside is raging
I close my eyes, l think about you, babe
I think about you, girl
There's got to be something left worth saving
We've wasted too much time

And I played the fool, I played the soldier
But my struggling days are over
I wanted everything
When all l needed was you, babe

l didn't understand, I was just a young boy
All I wanted was the rich man's play toys
I didn't really care how I got there, baby

But now I've seen a thousand dreams die
In the oil fields, in the coal mines
No need to wonder why nobody's satisfied lately

The storm outside is raging
I close my eyes, l think about you, babe
I think about you, girl
There's got to be something left worth saving
We've wasted too much time

And I played the fool, I played the soldier
But my struggling days are over
I wanted everything
When all l needed was you, babe
All I needed was you, babe

The storm outside is raging
We've wasted too much time

And I played the fool, I played the soldier
But my struggling days are over
I wanted everything
When all l needed was you, babe

Yeah, I played the fool, I played the soldier
But my struggling days are over
I wanted everything
When all l needed was you, babe
All I needed was you, babe

All I needed was you, girl, yeah, yeah
All I needed was you, babe, yeah
All I needed was you
All I needed was you, babe
All I needed was you, baby
