I was afraid to get out of the car So I just sat, I just sat there How was I gonna tell her I'd just lost my job I gotta go in there, I'm goin' in there So we gathered round the table and I told them the news But the looks of desperation nearly broke me in two Son I know you want, them running shoes There gonna have to wait, There gonna have to wait And darlin' I know, you wanted that dress in the window We're gonna get it, It just won't be now Then my little just looked up at me with those little round eyes And the words that she told me, almost made me cry (Chorus) She said, we don't need it, we can do without it We're gonna make it, no doubt about it We're gonna stick together, make it better We don't need it, all we need is you My son said, daddy, I got sixteen dollars I want you to take it, I want you to take it The next door neighbor asked me to rake the leaves I'm gonna do it, I'm sure gonna do i&116 'Cause I wanna help you out anyway I can And it's about time I learn to be a man And my wife say's darlin, we got all this stuff Just sittin' there, just sittin' there Like Grandma's china and silverware It's just sittin' there gatherin' dust And ever since she's past away, we haven't use it yet So let's put it out in the front yard and see what we can get (Chorus) She said, we don't need it, we can do without it We're gonna make it, no doubt about it We're gonna stick together, make it better We don't need it, all we need is you (Bridge) Days and weeks and months went by Big boss called in the nick-of-time And I got my check and I brought it home Yea it's been tough, but we've been blessed Your gonna get them shoes and that brand new dress (Chorus) But you know, we don't need it, we can do without it We're gonna make it, no doubt about it We're gonna stick together, make it better We don't need it, all we need is you (2X's) All we need is you
