I don't need thank you's
They don't touch my soul
I don't need gratitude
It won't make me whole
I don't need kisses
Though I will not say no
I don't need trinkets
They're just for show
I need to be there for you
(I need your need)
I am aware for you
(I need your need)
I am stripped bare for you
(I need your need)
That's my reward
Come here boy and talk to me
(There's not much to tell)
My boots are looking raggedy
(You wear them so well)
Your overwhelming passion …
(It's only your due)
I'll guide you where you need to be
(That's next to you)
I need to be there for you
(I need your need)
I am aware for you
(I need your need)
I am stripped bare for you
(I need your need)
That's my reward
Come here boy and talk to me
(I don't need thank yous)
You've so much to tell
(They don't touch my soul)
My boots are looking raggedy
(I don't need gratitude)
You polish them well
(It won't make me whole)
Your overwhelming passion
(I don't need kisses)
It's all you can do
(Though I will not say no)
I'll guide you where you need to be
(I don't need anything)
I'm here with you
(It's just for show)
I need to be there for you
(I need your need)
I am aware for you
(I need your need)
I am stripped bare for you
(I need your need)
That's my reward
