About Just What I Needed

“Just What I Needed” was the first big hit from the Boston-based band. Sung by their bass player Benjamin Orr, the track established their heavy pop/new wave style. The track was from their self-titled debut album, which established their “new wave” style. Though it’s a description for many of the successful late 70s bands, The Cars is considered one of the best from that cohort, as its two-year stint on the Billboard charts can attest. .

Just What I Needed Lyrics

[00:16.98] I don't mind you comin' here
[00:20.10] Wastin' all my time
[00:24.94] 'Cause when you're standin' oh so near
[00:28.90] I kinda lose my mind
[00:32.72] It's not the perfume that you wear
[00:36.50] It's not the ribbons in your hair
[00:40.42] I don't mind you comin' here
[00:44.22] And wastin' all my time
[00:48.56]
[01:03.20] I don't mind you hangin' out
[01:06.64] And talkin' in your sleep
[01:10.66] It doesn't matter where you've been
[01:14.40] As long as it was deep, yeah
[01:18.12] You always knew to wear it well and
[01:21.32] You look so fancy, I can tell
[01:25.66] And I don't mind you hangin' out
[01:28.73] And talkin' in your sleep
[01:33.87] I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed)
[01:37.01] I needed someone to feed
[01:40.59] I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed)
[01:44.55] I needed someone to bleed
[01:48.80]
[02:05.99] I don't mind you comin' here
[02:09.19] And wastin' all my time, time
[02:12.95] 'Cause when you're standin' oh so near
[02:16.65] I kinda lose my mind, yeah
[02:20.65] It's not the perfume that you wear
[02:24.45] It's not the ribbons in your hair
[02:28.45] And I don't mind you comin' here
[02:31.69] And wastin' all my time
[02:35.94] I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed)
[02:40.22] I needed someone to feed
[02:44.28] I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed)
[02:47.72] I needed someone to bleed
[02:52.16]
[03:02.73] You're just what I needed
[03:06.42]
[03:20.95] You're just what I needed
[03:24.82]
[03:30.86] You're just what I needed, yeah, yeah
[03:37.77] Thank you
[03:39.69] Thank you a lot
[03:40.88]
