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!
