Ed Sheeran - You Need Me, I Don't Need You (Official Video) Out Now

  • 0:15 - 0:17
    Now I’m in town, break it down,
    thinking of making a new sound
  • 0:17 - 0:19
    Playing a different show every night
    in front of a new crowd
  • 0:19 - 0:22
    That’s you now, ciao,
    seems that life is great now
  • 0:22 - 0:24
    See me lose focus,
    as I sing to you loud
  • 0:24 - 0:26
    And I can’t, no, I won’t hush
  • 0:26 - 0:29
    I’ll say the words that make you blush
  • 0:29 - 0:32
    I’m gonna sing this now
  • 0:32 - 0:33
    Oh oh
  • 0:33 - 0:36
    See, I’m true, my songs are where my heart is
  • 0:36 - 0:38
    I’m like glue, I stick to other artists
  • 0:38 - 0:40
    I’m not you, now that would be disastrous
  • 0:40 - 0:43
    Let me sing and do my thing and move to greener pasture
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    See, I’m real, I do it all, it’s all me
  • 0:45 - 0:47
    I’m not fake, don’t ever call me lazy
  • 0:47 - 0:50
    I won’t stay put, give me the chance to be free
  • 0:50 - 0:52
    Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me
  • 0:52 - 0:55
    ‘Cause you need me, man, I don’t need you
  • 0:55 - 0:57
    You need me, man, I don’t need you
  • 0:57 - 0:59
    You need me, man, I don’t need you at all
  • 0:59 - 1:01
    You need me, man, I don’t need you
  • 1:01 - 1:04
    You need me, man, I don’t need you
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    You need me, man, I don’t need you
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    You need me, man, I don’t need you at all
  • 1:08 - 1:10
    You need me
  • 1:10 - 1:13
    I sing and write my own tune and I write my own verse
  • 1:13 - 1:15
    Hell, don't need another word-smith to make my tune sell?
  • 1:15 - 1:17
    Call yourself a singer-writer - you’re just bluffing
  • 1:17 - 1:20
    Your name’s on the credits and you didn’t write nothing
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    I sing fast, I know that all my shit’s cool
  • 1:22 - 1:24
    I will blast and I didn’t go to Brit School
  • 1:24 - 1:27
    I came fast with the way I act, right
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    I can’t last if I’m smoking on a crack pipe
  • 1:29 - 1:31
    And I won’t be a product of my genre
  • 1:31 - 1:33
    My mind will always be stronger than my songs are
  • 1:33 - 1:36
    Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya
  • 1:36 - 1:38
    Always read the stories that you hear on Wikipedia
  • 1:38 - 1:40
    And musically I’m demonstrating
  • 1:40 - 1:43
    When I perform live, feels like I am meditating
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    Times at the Enterprise when some fella filmed me
  • 1:45 - 1:48
    ‘A young singer-writer like Gabriella Cilmi’
  • 1:48 - 1:50
    ‘Cause you need me, man, I don’t need you
  • 1:50 - 1:53
    You need me, man, I don’t need you
  • 1:53 - 1:55
    You need me, man, I don’t need you, at all
  • 1:55 - 1:57
    You need me, man, I don’t need you
  • 1:57 - 1:59
    You need me, man, I don’t need you
  • 1:59 - 2:02
    You need me, man, I don’t need you
  • 2:02 - 2:04
    You need me, man, I don’t need you, at all
  • 2:04 - 2:06
    You need me
  • 2:06 - 2:07
    Cause with the lyrics I’ll be aiming it right
  • 2:07 - 2:09
    I won’t stop till my name's in lights
  • 2:09 - 2:10
    At stadium heights with Damien Rice
  • 2:10 - 2:13
    On red carpets, now I’m on Arabian Nights
  • 2:13 - 2:15
    Because I’m young and all my brothers' gonna give me advice
  • 2:15 - 2:18
    Long nighter, short height and I gone hyper
  • 2:18 - 2:20
    Never be anything but a singer-songwriter, yeah.
  • 2:20 - 2:22
    The game's over but now I’m on a new level
  • 2:22 - 2:25
    Watch how I step on the track without a loop pedal
  • 2:25 - 2:27
    People think that I’m bound to blow up
  • 2:27 - 2:29
    I’ve done around about a thousand shows
  • 2:29 - 2:31
    But I haven’t got a house plus I live on the couch
  • 2:31 - 2:34
    So you can be the lyrics when I’m singing them out, wow
  • 2:34 - 2:36
    From day one, I’ve been prepared
  • 2:36 - 2:38
    With vo5 wax for my ginger hair
  • 2:38 - 2:41
    So now I’m back to the sofa, giving a dose of what the future holds
  • 2:41 - 2:43
    Cause it’s another day
  • 2:43 - 2:46
    Plus I'll keep my last name forever keep the genre pretty basic
  • 2:46 - 2:48
    Gonna be breaking into other people’s tunes when I chase it
  • 2:48 - 2:50
    And replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift
  • 2:50 - 2:52
    Into another rappers shoes using new laces
  • 2:52 - 2:55
    Selling CD's from my rucksack aiming for the papers
  • 2:55 - 2:57
    Selling CD's from my rucksack aiming for the majors
  • 2:57 - 2:59
    Nationwide tour with just jack, still had to get the bus back
  • 2:59 - 3:01
    Clean cut kid without a razor for the mustache
  • 3:01 - 3:04
    I hit back when the pen hurts me
  • 3:04 - 3:06
    I’m still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee
  • 3:06 - 3:08
    I’m still the same as a year ago
  • 3:08 - 3:09
    But more people hear me though
  • 3:09 - 3:11
    According to the MySpace and YouTube videos
  • 3:11 - 3:13
    I’m always doing shows if I’m not I’m in the studio
  • 3:13 - 3:15
    Truly broke, never growing up call me Ruffio
  • 3:15 - 3:17
    Melody music maker
  • 3:17 - 3:18
    Reading all the papers
  • 3:18 - 3:20
    They say I’m up and coming like I'm fucking in an elevator .
  • 3:20 - 3:23
    Cause you need me, man, I don’t need you
  • 3:23 - 3:25
    You need me, man, I don’t need you
  • 3:25 - 3:27
    You need me, man, I don’t need you, at all
  • 3:27 - 3:30
    You need me, man, I don’t need you
  • 3:30 - 3:32
    You need me, man, I don’t need you
  • 3:32 - 3:34
    You need me, man, I don’t need you
  • 3:34 - 3:37
    You need me, man, I don’t need you, at all
  • 3:37 - 3:41
    You need me, man, I don’t need you
