(Don't Ask Me) What I Need

Sarah Rayan 1982 (Kuwait City)



Ask me anything in the world, and I will always be your girl, but don't ask me what I need, you won't hear what you're looking for

If you don't believe, I might need you to leave, and you might need me to stay, when I'd rather fly away; ask and you'll receive, as long as you believe

You may never see me again, if we stop playing pretend
so don't ask me what I need, or this angel may descend

If you don't believe, I might need you to leave, and you might need me to stay, when I'd rather fly away; but don't ask me what I need, you might help me plant this seed
