Need Me Lyrics – Eminem

You’re drunk, the carpet is burned
I hate to find you like this
I always find you like this
I come home and clean up your mess
What would you do without that?
Why do I always come back?
Oh, what I wouldn’t do for you

And I’m startin’ to think that maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
And I’m startin’ to think that maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
Maybe you need me

Some nights I wanna run for the hills
It’s never easy with you
I cannot reason with you
But your smile as rare as it comes
What would I do without that?
Maybe that’s why I come back
Oh, what I wouldn’t do for you

And I’m startin’ to think that maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
And I’m startin’ to think that maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
Maybe you need me

Startin’ to think we were made for each other
But one of us in this relationship is raising the other
You remind me of mother
We drive one another as crazy as each other
And we’re both adults so there’s no
Excuse for the games we play with each other
Where you at? At a friends?
No, you ain’t, motherfucker

But I give her the benefit of the doubt
Whenever the doubt kicks in, shiver
When I touch her, ’cause I love her so much, I’m a sucker
How her bottom lip can quiver when she’s in trouble,
She’s in hot water
Think I caught her cheatin’ again
Give her another chance? Another one after that?

I’m swimming in that Egyptian River ’cause I’m in denial
Say I don’t eat shit, but I have a shit-eatin’ grin when I smile
Makin’ an excuse for us to act it out
She’s just acting out, with her inner child
Then I set the truth on fire
‘Cause I’d rather believe a lie then
Then I breathe a sigh of relief, I don’t believe in
Goin’ to bed mad

I keep on tryin’ to make a bad girl good
But haven’t I stood by you in good times
And bad? I’m starting to feel like your goddamn dad
‘Cause I literally feel like you could die if I ever, should I
Leave you for good and never would I
It’d be all bad

Never understood why they call it goodbye
But I think I’m a pretty damn good guy
And you’re a good person, too
I can save you, I can make you change
But I keep puttin’ my fuckin’ foot in my mouth
Every time, I gotta come and bail you out
When you get in trouble that you get yourself in
And I’m in trouble, but I can’t leave, I’ll sell you out
I could never turn my fuckin’ back on you, what is that?

I’m co-dependant, I’m just now noticin’ it
But somehow it’s like every time I’m about to go to end it
I ain’t got the cojones to do it, nor the heart
Nor the heart, our apartment’s tore apart
You’re usin’ my heart for a dartboard
But God must’ve aligned stars for us
‘Cause somebody paired us up
And they say He ain’t capable of makin’ a mistake
But this one’s perfect, ’cause I’m

And I’m startin’ to think that maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
And I’m startin’ to think that maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
