Do You Need My Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tired of feeling so had
The world that I knew just fell through
And left me outside
And we may be blind more than the others
How it feels so good to feel how I wanna feel
Ever since I saw those lion eyes
Those tired feelings hide behind
Your cigarette nights
Your love breaking apart inside

[Chorus]
Do you need me the way I need you?
Let's be true for a change

Do you need someone?
Do you need my love?
Need my love

[Verse 2]
Tired of feeling so bad
Giving away everything
Gonna learn to take the pain
I know that your love stings
Passion is the only thing
Passion must mean everything
I felt your body scream to be set free
From the pain of what's gone
I'll move you along
[Chorus]
Do you need me the way I need you?
Let's be true for a change

Do you need someone?
Do you need my love?
Need my love

[Bridge]
Everyone who knows me
Knows I'm crazy for loving you, baby
Do you need me like I need you?
Tell me what I could do
Do you need me, need me

[Chorus]
Do you need me the way I need you?

What did Weyes Blood say about "Do You Need My Love"?
Genius Answer

Natalie Mering shared the story behind the song for the 100 Greatest Songs of 2016 year-end list at Songs for Whoever:

“The story is such: I fell in love with a trouble maker, a real wild creature of the night. But I was totally crazy about him, even if it wasn’t good. To me the value was that he restored a sense of feeling to me, of passion and longing. Its like a fuel you can live off of when your heart swells with love for another person. I wrote it in a few months, but the words changed a bit overtime. ” Do you need me the way I need you ” came about when I realized the love was mutual.”
