WANT AND NEED by Russ McKay

I’m confused indeed

About want and need

And what they actually mean

There are things I NEED to do

That I don’t WANT to

And I want things I don’t need…

Don’t you?

Mom says I want toys but don’t NEED them

And I need to eat spinach and don’t WANT to

The stuff I want…I don’t need

And the stuff I need …I don’t want

Is this normal for kids to go through?

But recently I figured it out

It explains what this confusion’s about

Some stuff I wanted badly and got

Now I find that I want it not

And I’m no longer in doubt

I can explain this whole thing

Some clarity I think I can bring

If you WANT what you NEED

And you NEED what you’ve got

Then I think that you’ve got everything!
