I Need You

Written by S. Nicks

You came, you came along
At a bad time; I was too young
Three men, each of which wants all of me
Each gets only a part of me
I live alone
Small part can't satisfy
It will only pacify

Here, here lies intensity
Here breathe the highs and lows
Here we climb that mountain
Plunging deep into deepness
Floating back and forth
Wanting to touch down, but never touching
For to touch is to reveal
The answer, the answer, oh...

Well, I need you because you are not mine
I am impatient 'cause you are so impulsive, oh, yes
I don't know you
I don't understand you
Still, I love you
But I am afraid of you, oh, no
I am afraid

WEBMISTRESS speculates:

Apparently Stevie is really popular in this song! Poor Stevie, so many men want her she can't commit to any of them and "lives alone." I weep for you, Stevie. Apparently the guy she really wants, though, is not "hers." So that IS a reason to be upset. This guy is someone who's hard to understand and even a little bit intimidating. This song is so early, but, still, it could be Lindsey. Perhaps the rest of Fritz wants her but she wants Lindsey! Of course, this song could have been written post-Fritz, who knows. By the way, isn't the middle section poetic?
