Need to Know Basis lyrics
by Ben Harper
[Verse 1]
You're the reason
Aliens would come down to Earth
Outer space must look small
From inside your universe
[Refrain]
But your love is on a need-to-know basis
And I need to know right now
[Verse 2]
We paint time
With the colors of our lives
With what we do to survive
[Refrain]
But your love is on a need-to-know basis
And I need to know right now
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
If I were the branch
Of an old oak tree
I hope you'd be the one
On the swing tied to me
[Refrain]
But your love is on a need-to-know basis
Your love is on a need-to-know basis
I need to know right now
