The last thing mama reached for every Sunday
What I want and what I need
But what I want and what I need
Oh, and find a way back to you
The last thing that I reach for every evening
Just let go and walk out on us
Yes, I've read the surgeon general's warning
Time has worn the new off of the feeling
But that don't take the warning out of them
Is a woman who I can't reach anymore
What I want and what I need
But I wanted to sleep off the night before
Have always been different things
Was my mortal soul as she walked out the door
She'd say, “Boy, you're gonna need Him someday”
And right now I want to just walk out the door
But what I need is to see this through
Have always been different things
What I want is to give up
What I want and what I need
Have always been different things
