(Bill Anderson)      The boss needs me to come to work   In the morning, he told me so   My landlord needs me to pay   My rent, or out I go.      The parakeet needs me   To teach him a song   The puppy dog needs me   To bring him a bone.      Everebody needs me   But something's wrong   That ain't the kinda needin' I need, baby   Ain't the kinda needin' I need.      I need love, your kind of love   Tender warm and sweet   I need your lips to kiss me   And tell me I'm your man   Talk to me in the language of love   That's all I understand   And that's the kinda needin' I need.      --- Instrumental ---      My next door neighbor needs me   To help him paint his fence   The kid with the biard and beads   Needs me to talk him some sense.      The sailboat needs me to find some wind   Sail it up and down the water again   And you need me just to be your friend   And that ain't the kinda needin' I need, baby   Ain't the kinda needin' I need.      That's the kinda needin' I need baby   Ain't the kinda needin' I need.   That's the kinda needin' I need baby   Ain't the kinda needin' I need...
