Never Needed It More Songtext

von Chris Smither

If love is the meal for the hunger you feel,
Call for the witer.
We're all gonna feed on whatever
We need sooner or later.
I just stay out of my way.
I call for the check when I'm ready to pay.
The bill's for the faith or the will,
Whichever is greater.

[Chorus: Tell me how does it happen?]
I can't tell you for sure,
But I don't think I ever needed it more

Cuz now it's two for the show and
They all wanna how
Did you meet her?
I think it was luck,
She fell off a truck,
From there it was follow the leader.
I saw her walkin' alone,
I treated her nice and she followed me home.
There was nobody there to tell me
That I couldn't keep her.

[Chorus: variant Tell me how does it happen?]
I can't tell you for sure,
But I don't shut my tail in the door any more.

[Chorus]

You know it's only a scene,
The play is the dream,
The bigger the better.
What can I say,
She's writin' the play and I'm gonna let her.
I just believe in the role.
I open wide and it swallows me whole.
The take is the give,
The give is the way that I get her.
