[Verse 1]
I've been too numb to understand
I'm just a victim of the weapon in my hand
So many casualties of love
But I've been bulletproof, I'm staring at the sun

[Pre-Chorus]
I was the one you took home
Never a flame to burn slow
But I was hoping you'd see me a different way
So many bodies I've touched
Crushing around me like dust
You are the realest thing I've never had to fake

[Chorus]
I don't need nobody, need nobody but
I don't need nobody, need nobody but you
I don't need nobody, need nobody but you
I don't need nobody, need nobody but you

[Verse 2]
I'm just so used to emptiness
Can't feel your heartbeat when I'm lying on your chest
You're different from the ones before
I know you don't believe it's you I've waited for

[Pre-Chorus]
I was the one you took home
Never a flame to burn slow
But I was hoping you'd see me a different way
So many bodies I've touched
Crushing around me like dust
You are the realest thing I've never had to fake

[Chorus]
I don't need nobody, need nobody but
I don't need nobody, need nobody but you
I don't need nobody, need nobody but you
I don't need nobody, need nobody but you

[Bridge]
But I was hoping you'd see me a different way
You are the realest thing I've never had to fake

[Chorus]
I don't need nobody, need nobody but
I don't need nobody, need nobody but you
I don't need nobody, need nobody but you
I don't need nobody, need nobody but you

Ellie Goulding

Elena Jane “Ellie” Goulding (born 30 December 1986) – is an English singer-songwriter. In 2010, she became the second artist to both top the BBC’s annual Sound of… poll and win the Critics' Choice Award at the Brit Awards in the same year, following Adele’s win of both in 2008. Originally her music incorporated elements of folk, pop, electronica, and folktronica.

In July 2009, Goulding signed with Polydor Records, and released her debut EP An Introduction to Ellie Goulding, later that year. Her debut single, “Under The Sheets” was then released in November.

In 2010 Goulding recorded and released her debut record Lights, which spawned four charting singles in the UK, the biggest of which “Starry Eyes” peaked at #4 in the UK and charted in many European countries and Australia.
