Ed Sheeran — You Need Me I Dont Need You - Live and in Session

[Verse 1] Now I'm in town, break it down Thinking of making a new sound Playing a different show every night In front of a new crowd That's you now, ciao Seems that life is great now See me lose focus as I sing to you loud I can't, no I won't hush I'll say the words that make you blush I'm gonna sing this now See, I'm true My songs are where my heart is I'm like glue I stick to other artists I'm not you No, that would be disastrous Let me sing and do my thing And move to greener pastures See, I'm real, I do it all, It's all me I'm not fake, don't ever call me lazy I won't stay put Give me the chance to be free Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me Hey [Chorus] You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you, at all You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you, at all You need me, man [Verse 2] I sing, I write my own tunes And I write my own verse, hell Don't need another wordsmith To make my tune sell Call yourself a singer writer You're just bluffing Name's on the credits And you didn't write nothing I sing fast, I know that all my shit's cool I will blast and I didn't go to Brit school I came fast with the way I act right I can't last if I'm smoking on a crack pipe And I won't be a product of my genre My mind will always be stronger than my songs are Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya Always read the stories that you hear on Wikipedia And musically I'm demonstrating When I perform live feels like I am meditating Times at the Enterprise when some fella filmed me Young singer/writer like a Gabriella Cilmi [Chorus] You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you, at all You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you, at all You need me, man [Chorus] Cause you need me, man I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you [Bridge] My eyes are red, I've been burning, I've been burning My eyes are red, I've been burning, I've been burning out My eyes are red, I've been burning I've been burning on a spliff of your high-grade My eyes are red, I've been burning I've been burning burning burning [Verse 4] Now, where I come burning weed it is a habit A big fat bag of high-grade weed you know I got to have it Cause if I don't have it in my pocket I'm going to panic Cause like I say where I come from weed smoking is a habit Yeah do da burn up the place up in the hood One of the things that I've inherited Like a ghetto man you should One of the things is smoking weed Yes it makes me feel good But high-grade sensimilla, yes it makes me feel Mommy, yes I'm gonna table sensimilla is a drug And If I start to smoke I'm gonna turn into a thug Where I come from all that talking It could only get you mugged Where I come from burning weed It is a blessing from above Where I come from, yes we burn it When we listen rob a dove Where I come from, yes we burn it After we dash to make love Where I come from, yes we burn it When the sun does shine I blaze high-grade weed all the time [Chorus] Now, my eyes are red Cause you need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, my eyes are red Cause you need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, my eyes are red Cause you need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, my eyes are red You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, my eyes are red Eyes are red Ooohh Eyes are red Eyes are red Eyes are red Eyes are red Eyes are red Eyes are red Eyes are red Eyes are red Woah Woah Woah Woah Woah Yeah [Verse 5] Cause with the lyrics I'll be aiming it right I won't stop till my name's in lights At stadium heights, with Damien Rice On red carpets, Now I'm on Arabian nights Because I'm young I know my brother's gonna give me advice Long nighter, short height, and I'm going hyper Never be anything but a singer/songwriter Yeah, the game's over, but now I'm on a new level Watch how I step on the track, without a loop pedal People think that I'm bound to blow up I've done around about a thousand shows, but I haven't got a house, plus I live on the couch So, you believe the lyrics when I'm singing them out, wow From day one I've been prepared With VO5 wax for my ginger hair So now I'm back to the sofa Giving a dose of what the future holds- Cos it's another day close, close, close, close brrrrr I've still got a rucksack for the old clothes I rap with the cold flows I'm back with the most jokes In fact, you don't know On tracks, I throw blows to make my punchlines relevant If you can't keep up you'll get none, you're celibate Man, flows developing Skin lacks the melanin Give me a shot of adrenaline and I get it in I do it for the hell of it Cause ever since I hit the mainstream with the A team I seem to sell a bit I took what held me back with the women And then I packaged the image Put in some content And then I throw it back as a gimmick The fact is this I'll end up dating actresses Wake up on dirty mattresses I think I need to practice this But I make shit happen, call me a laxative World's on my shoulders I don't even know what Atlas is Hard part's sharp like a cactus is I'm back to rapping back to back Cause I've been practising I'm back to sing this, yes [Chorus] You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you, at all You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you, at all You need me, man [Verse 6] I'll keep my last name forever Keep this genre pretty basic Gonna be breaking into other people's tune When I chase it And replace it with an elephant in the room with a facelift Into another rapper's shoes, using new laces I'm selling CD's from my rucksack Aiming for the papers Selling CD's from my rucksack Aiming for the majors Nationwide tour with Just Jack Still had to get the bus back Clean cut kid without a razor for the moustache I hit back when the pen hurts me I'm still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee I'm still the same as a year ago But, more people hear me, though According to the Myspace and Youtube videos I'm always doing shows, If I'm not I'm in the studio Truly broke, never growing up, call me Ruffio Melody music maker Reading all the papers They say I'm up and coming Like I'm fucking in an elevator [Chorus] You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you, at all You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don't need you, at all You need me, man, I don't need you
