You Need Me

Hi, I'm very social, I'm sure you know me
I'm really easy to find, and usually come with a fee
I've made a lot of friends, though many end fast
But forget all that negative talk, that's all in the past
I met a new friend recently; His name is David
He spends so much time with me, you would think were related
When David comes home from a bad day at work
I'm always there, waiting on him with a smirk
C'mon David, I'm waiting out here for you to see
You're pissed David, you need to take more of me
Who gives a shit what your wife and child thinks
They never understood you, now take another drink
I'll always stay here, I'm not going anywhere
Put me to your lips when you think life isn't fair
David, you and I were always meant to be
I make you feel better, you know you need me
...............................................................................................
I'm not limited to one, I can make you feel better too
If you feel depressed, you already know what to do
Don't worry I come in all types of different flavors
So any time you're with me, is a time you can savor
I'm usually bitter, but sometimes I can be sweet
I'm always social, so I can't wait for us to meet
I meet teenage kids, who try to fit with the crew
And if we meet before you drive, I will affect you
And I know people say to take me in moderation
But how can you when I give you that buzzing sensation
I'm at your nearest party, come and have a blast
Forget about the future, make sure this time lasts
I know that I can relieve you of all your sorrows
I'm a bitch tho, I'll make you feel like shit tomorrow
Some say I'm evil, do you believe that to be true
Is it because of all the ways that I can damage you
Is it because of all of the lives that I have claimed
Is it because of all of the families I've put to shame
Speaking of families, let's check in with David
Oh damn, look at the mess that I've created
Through a fit of rage looks like David's life is done
Oh well, sucks for him, let's go have some more fun
I can influence anybody I want, now do you see
And just like them, I'm sure one day you'll need me
You can't get rid of me, my influence will never end
And hopefully one day you can also be my best friend
