[Verse 1]
He's strong, not one to settle down
You know he’s that guy
Electric, those lips can wear me out
Wild thing he's all mine

[Pre-Chorus]
It's crazy, but when he can’t sleep, I understand
Like pressure points, my love can ease him in my hand
'Cause (He needs me)

[Chorus]
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
(I got everything he needs)
(He needs me)
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
(I got everything he needs)

[Verse 2]
Soft rain (Soft rain), we roll the windows down
Sweat disco all night
It's clear (It's clear), we'd like to fool around
His hands reach for mine

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I know it's tough, baby, keep both eyes on the road
Pull right, a burnt-out streetlight, only halfway home
(He needs me)

[Chorus]
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
(I got everything he needs)
(He needs me)
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
(I got everything he needs)

[Post-Chorus]
Could never give him enough
Enough of my love, enough of my love
Enough of my
I could never give him enough
Enough of my love (He needs me)
Could never give him enough
Enough of my love, enough of my love
Enough of my
I could never give him enough
Enough of my love (He needs me)

[Bridge]
You know, not just physically
Emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, sexually
All the ways

[Chorus]
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
(I got everything he needs)
(He needs me)
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
(He needs me)
(I got everything he needs)

[Post-Chorus]
Could never give him enough
Enough of my love, enough of my love
Enough of my
I could never give him enough
Enough of my love (He needs me)
Could never give him enough
Enough of my love, enough of my love
Enough of my
I could never give him enough
Enough of my love (He needs me)

Carly Rae Jepsen

Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Born in 1985, she first came to fame by finishing in third place on the TV show Canadian Idol. Shortly afterwards, she released her debut album, Tug Of War, including the Canadian top 40 singles “Tug Of War” and “Bucket.”

Three years later, she released the single “Call Me Maybe” and planned to follow it with what would have been her second album, Curiosity. However, after the song caught the ear of fellow Canadian, Justin Bieber, he referred her to his manager, Scooter Braun, which led to her signing an international deal with Interscope Records. Before long, it became one of 2012’s most enduring hits, racking up over a billion YouTube views and topping the charts in 21 countries, including the US and Canada. The aforementioned Curiosity album was cut down to EP length, and work continued on her eventual sophomore LP, Kiss. Released in September 2012, it also featured the Owl City collaboration “Good Time”, which reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Jepsen returned in March 2015 with “I Really Like You,” the lead single from her third studio album. The song received a more muted reception than her breakout hit–although it did reach #2 in the United Kingdom–and consequently, the album, E•MO•TION, failed to make a substantial impact chartwise. Despite this, the album drew in a new wave of fans with its more experimental and mature sound; such was the amount of praise among both the public and critics that a follow-up EP of album outtakes–E•MO• Side B–was released on the album’s first anniversary.
