I Needed Her Most When I Told Her to Go - John Sebastian

In the fever of a fire

I said things I don’t mean

I guess at times in love like this

I’m a kid of sixteen

And in a rage I pushed away

The one that loved me so

But I needed her most

When I told her to go, yeah

Crazy thoughts were buzzin' round

Like bees around a comb

Was it all a fantasy

The way we got along

I know you so well

But you know me and now we fight

Same thing made us fall in love

Made us mad enough to cry

Ooh we, it makes me want to jump and shout

I love you more today

For having had to work it out

In the evening when you’re lyin'

Close by my side

And we’re filled with thoughts of love

And memories of good times

I’ll remember the day

You walked as far as the door

You know I needed you most

When I told you to go, yes

I needed you most when I told you to go
