I see you passing by, I don't where, I don't know why
You choose to go the way that you're going now
You've been a friend of mine for many years for a long time but
You just aren't you today, so what's on your mind?
You just won't speak about it, think about it, be about it
Gotta make yourself aware that you're goin' astray
You're trying so hard to fit in
What you need is something genuine
What you want is something real
What you need is something truthful
I know you do, I know you do
I know you do, 'cause I need it too
What you need, what you need
What you want, what you want
What you need, what you need
Something genuine
You cry yourself to sleep
Sleep at night but once the night is gone
And you prepare to face a brand new day
You hide yourself behind that mastermind
You're in disguise
It's as if you try to put a mask on your pain
You don't know who you are
What you're about, where are you now
You're becoming someone that you don't want to be
You're trying so hard to fit in
What you need is something genuine
What you want is something real
What you need is something truthful
I know you do, I know you do
I know you do, 'cause I need it too
What you need, what you need
What you want, what you want
What you need, what you need
Something genuine
He loves you for who you are now and who you will be
Don't fear living in truth there's reality
I don't have all the answers but I know One who does
And I know there's freedom and truth, I got to Him because
What you need is something genuine
I know you do
What you need is something truthful
What you need, what you need
What you want, what you want
What you need, what you need
What He has is something genuine
Who He is is someone real
What He gives is something truthful
It's what He has, it's who he is
It's what He gives
And I need Him too
What you need, what you need
I need Him too
What you want, what you want
What you need, what you need
Something genuine
What He has is something genuine
Who He is is someone real
What He gives is something truthful
It's what He has, it's who he is
It's what He gives
And I need Him too
What you need, what you need
I need Him too
What you want, what you want
What you need, what you need
Something genuine
Do you know what you need?
Do you know what you need?
I know what you need
'Cause I, I need it too
Something genuine
He is something genuine
