First single for The Cars from their self-titled debut album (1978). Benjamin Orr sang lead on this, my favorite song by the band (he also sang lead on my second favorite by them, "Let's Go"). Currently featured in commercials for Circuit City.

#27 Hot 100

Went to #27 on the Hot 100. From the 6xp album The Cars...

The lyrics:

I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time
'cause when you're standin' oh so near
I kinda lose my mind
It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time

I don't mind you hangin' out
And talkin' in your sleep
It doesn't matter where you've been
As long as it was deep, yeah
You always knew to wear it well and
You look so fancy i can tell
I don't mind you hangin' out
And talkin' in your sleep

I guess you're just what i needed
(just what i needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what i needed
(just what i needed)
I needed someone to bleed

I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time time
'cause when you're standin' oh so near
I kinda lose my mind, yeah
It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time

I guess you're just what i needed
(just what i needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what i needed
(just what i needed)
I needed someone to bleed

I guess you're just what i needed
(just what i needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what i needed
(just what i needed)
I needed someone to bleed
Yeah, yeah, so bleed me

You're just what i needed
You're just what i needed
Yeah, you're just what i needed
Yeah, yeah yeah
