I Need You

Lyrics Translation

We done a lot of livin'
We workin' overtime
Don't need another million
You got that gold mine
I love the way you're livin'
'Cause you're so genuine
You got that something special
Didn't you know?
I just need you, you, you

Imagine when I was a lil' nappy head boy
And I never put down my alto saxophone, yeah
Buck trippin' down on the boulevard
I couldn't wait to blow my own horn
It ain't wrong for you to play along
Playin' this song 'til you die, come on, come on

In this world with a lot of problems
All we need is a little loving
Thank you, thank you
Oh, you make me thank you
Thank you for your love

We done a lot of livin'
We workin' overtime
Don't need another million
You got that gold mine
I love the way you're livin'
'Cause you're so genuine
You got that something special
Didn't you know?
I just need you (yeah), you (yeah), you (come on now)

Met you when I was a lil' country boy
And I never put down that pork chop and salt (mm)
Then we fell in love on the boulevard
If you was Jenny, I guess I was Forrest (run)
Nah, it ain't wrong for you to sing along
Singin' this song 'til you die (ah-ooh)

In this world with a lot of problems
All we need is a little loving
Thank you, thank you
Oh, you make me thank you
Thank you for your love

That's alright

We done a lot of livin'
We workin' overtime
Don't need another million
You got that gold mine
I love the way you're livin'
'Cause you're so genuine
You got that something special
Didn't you know?
I just need you, you, you (yeah)

I need you (yeah), you (yeah)
You (oh), you (come on)
You, you
You (yeah, baby)

We done a lot of livin'
Nós vivemos a vida ao máximo
We workin' overtime

Don't need another million
Não preciso de mais um milhão
You got that gold mine
Você tem aquela mina de ouro
I love the way you're livin'
Eu adoro o seu estilo de vida
'Cause you're so genuine
Porque você é tão genuíno
You got that something special

Imagine when I was a lil' nappy head boy
Lembra de quando eu era um garotinho de cabelo crespo
And I never put down my alto saxophone, yeah
Eu nunca largava do meu saxofone alto, sim
Buck trippin' down on the boulevard
Menorzin' alucinando pela avenida
I couldn't wait to blow my own horn
Eu não podia esperar pra soprar a minha trompa pra todo mundo ouvir
It ain't wrong for you to play along
Não é errado que você jogue o meu jogo
Playin' this song 'til you die, come on, come on
Tocando essa música até você morrer, vamo, vamo
In this world with a lot of problems
Nesse mundo repleto de problemas
All we need is a little loving
Tudo o que a gente precisa é de um pouco de amor
Thank you, thank you
Obrigado, obrigado

Eu te conheci quando eu era garoto da roça
And I never put down that pork chop and salt (mm)
E eu nunca largava a costela de porco com sal (mm)
Then we fell in love on the boulevard
Então a gente se apaixonou um pelo outro na avenida
If you was Jenny, I guess I was Forrest (run)
Se você era a Jenny então eu era o seu Forrest (corra)
Nah, it ain't wrong for you to sing along
Não, não tem nada errado em você cantar junto

And I never put down my alto saxophone, yeah
Y nunca suelto mi saxofón alto, sí
Buck trippin' down on the boulevard
Tropezando por el boulevard
I couldn't wait to blow my own horn
No podía esperar a soplar mi propia bocina
It ain't wrong for you to play along

And I never put down that pork chop and salt (mm)
Y nunca solté ese cerdo con sal (mm)
Then we fell in love on the boulevard
Luego nos enamoramos en el boulevard
If you was Jenny, I guess I was Forrest (run)
Si fueras Jenny, al parecer yo fuera Forrest (corre)
