[Intro]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]

You caught a plane back to Memphis

We kissed and then you cried

But you promised you would come back

And after all this time

I see your gorgeous face

Black hair and skinny waist

Brings me back to what we can be

[Chorus]

And essentially you're what I need

Before this all I did was bleed

Before this I wasn't fixed

But you were the one to mend it

Essentially

Essentially, oh

[Verse 2]

I loved you're ability to sing

My heart throbs when you're standing next to me

Soft voice, so calming and sweet

You helped me get a grip on love and now I believe

You make me smile for a while when I get a text

There's no better feeling when I hear your name because

[Chorus]

Essentially you're what I need

Before this all I did was bleed

Before this I wasn't fixed

But you were the one to mend it

Essentially

Essentially, oh

[Bridge]

I never think that I'd find what I was looking for till I found you

I wouldn't tell you I that wanted something like I did till I found you

The rainy clouds, he thundering sounds all left when you appeared

The shining sun, the lively world, you made my view clear

[Chorus]

And essentially you're what I need

Before this all I did was bleed

And before this I wasn't fixed

But you were the one to mend it

Essentially you're what I need

Before this all I did was bleed

Before this I wasn't fixed

But you were the one to mend it

[Outro]

Essentially
