about

The tiger and the teddy bear are among my favorite children book characters from the works of Janosch, a German children book writer. This is just a song about friendship and love.

lyrics

Don't need no money to buy for.
Don't need a country do die for.
Don't need a lover to lie for.
Don't need no reasons to cry for.

Don't need a life,
filled with anguish, hate and strife.
Don't need a cue don't need a clue,
all I really need is you.

Don't need a big car to choke in.
Don't need a cigar for smokin'.
Don't need a bottle to drown in.
Don't need no reasons for frowning.

Don't need a glove,
to keep my hands away from love.
No reasons new for feeling blue,
all I really need is you.

Just need a good friend to talk to.
A destination to walk to.
Soft sunny mornings for striding.
While birds on windgusts are gliding.

Just need a song
and my world can sing along.
River blue and worries few,
all I really need is you.

His voice always seem to strike a chord with his audiences, along with his decadently charming on-stage persona, his concerts at times comprised of stories within stories and songs within songs. ... more
