If you could step into my head,
Tell me would you still know me
If you woke up in my bed,
Tell me then would you hold me
Or would you simply let it lie,
Leaving me to wonder why
I can't get you out of this head
I call mine
And I will say

Oh no I can't let you go, my little girl
Because you're holding up my world
So I need you.
Your imitation of my walk and the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million things that I love about you

[Chorus]
So I need you [Repeat: x4]

And if I jumped of the Brooklyn Bridge,
Tell me would you still follow me
And if I made you mad today,
Tell me would you love me tomorrow?
Please. or would you say that you don't care,
And then leave me standing here
Like the fool who is drowning in despair and screamin'

Oh no I can't let you go, my little girl
Because you're holding up my world,
So I need you.
Your imitaion of my walk and the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million things that I love about you.

[Chorus]

I'm on my own [Repeat: x3]

Oh no I can't let you go my little girl
Because your holding up my world,
So I need you.
Your imitation of my walk and the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million things that I love about you.

[Chorus]

    General Comment:i get a kind of depressed vibe from this song. I think the guy singing is feeling like his whole world is falling apart, but he's trying to keep it together for this girl because he needs her to stay. He really loves her, but he's afraid that if she knew how messed up he was, she wouldn't be able to stand all the pressure of being the only thing keeping him stable

    General Comment:i would actually have to say this song is definatley about a man who found the christmas presents early, and was so tempted that he actually opened them, now, he feels really guilty because his wife keeps telling him how good his present is that she got him, but in fact, the man actually HATES the gift. and thats really what the song is about.

    General Comment:this song is definitely not about his daughter.
    i can just tell.
    and the beginning wouldnt make sense then.
    this is definitely my favorite song by 3dd.
    My favorite exboyfriend always called me "little girl" and he always made fun of how properly i talk...so it totally reminds me of him
    i definitely think its about his girlfriend, and how he needs her and needs to know she will be with him through it all.

    General Comment:this is a really sweet song. i can't help smiling when i hear it :). i think it's about a guy who's just totally in love with this girl, but he's not sure whether she really notices him, but now he's here to tell her how he really feels.

    General Comment:this is not a song about a father and daughter-- i don't think anyway. It wouldn't make much sense then. I think mainly, it's him asking "will you trust me and follow me in the unknown-- meaning the future?- to his girlfriend or someone really close to him. He's saying he not only loves her but he needs her in his life and he needs her to love and need him too.
