Jim Cuddy - Still Want You lyrics

Well I took my car to find you Drove down every lane Looked in all the backyards Then I went back through again Then I took a Greyhound Headed way out West I found some friends who knew you But they told me you had already left Oh why do I need you so Like a cop needs a crime Well I've practiced in the mirror Saying things to make my mind go clear Prayed until my knees were black and blue And if love is a cut well it's one that never seems to shut Comes up every morning like it's new And I still want you Remember when we travelled up To see the Arctic sun Stopped to buy you cigarettes Came back and you were gone Then I had to follow A trail of unpaid bills You maxed out all my credit cards And took all of the money from my till Oh why do I need you so Like a drowning man needs a line Well I'm burning with desire Standing way too close to every fire I know I'll pay the price when it comes due And no matter how I try resolutions fall in record time Thoughts of your sweet smile coming through And I still want you Oh why do I need you so Like a drunk needs wine Well there's grey skies behind me Thunder up ahead I'm hooked on this sensation And I'm easily misled And if I ever find you I hope I will someday I won't waste time on clever lines Just smile at you and then I'll walk away Oh why do I need you so Like a dying man needs time Well I've practiced in the mirror Saying things to make my mind go clear Prayed until my knees were black and blue And if love is a cut well it's one that never seems to shut Comes up every morning like it's new And I still want you And I still want you
