Paint me a window so I can see Over the rainbow inside of me I need How I need Crimson and clover, wagon and hay These are some sweet things, so lovely and gay I need How I need 'Cause I'm not the strongman I am the one in need If I were a circus traveling around Would I be the high wire or the one falling down? I need How I need 'Cause I'm not the strongman I am the one Just who I am and just who you see A strange contradiction won't let me be I need Sunshine and laughter and innocent eyes Love that stays after the good and the bad times I need How I need To show you the real me is the hardest of all Should I stay silent or risk the fall? I need How I need (chorus) And what isn't lovely blossoms one day Turns bitter snow to a sweet summer day And I need You need How we need How I need
