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

I don't mind you comin' here
Wastin' all my time
'Cause when you're standin' oh so near
I kinda lose my mind

It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time

I don't mind you hangin' out
And talkin' in your sleep
It doesn't matter where you've been
As long as it was deep, yeah

You always knew to wear it well and
You look so fancy, I can tell
And I don't mind you hangin' out
And talkin' in your sleep

I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed

I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time, time
'Cause when you're standin' oh so near
I kinda lose my mind, yeah

It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
And I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time

I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed

You're just what I needed
You're just what I needed
You're just what I needed, yeah, yeah

Thank you
Thank you a lot
