No one seems to stay they just leave you cold
No one seems to know why your love grows old
Chasing and wasting for our own desires
Love what we need until your need grows tired
I need money, I need money
It's taking me too long for this debt to drop
And if it comes to it, I'll be dancing down the table tops
Cuz no one can help me now
No one can help me now
No one can help me now
I don't need a love
Got enough worry to fill me up
I don't need a man, I don't need a man
All that he does I can, I can
No one can help me now
No one can help me now
No one can help me now
I don't need a man, I don't need a man
All that he does I can, I can
I don't need a love, I don't need a love
Got enough worry to fill me up
Had enough
Had enough
Had enough
I don't need a man, I don't need a man
No one seems to stay they just leave you cold
No one seems to know why your love grows old
Chasing and wasting for our own desires
We love what we need til the need grows tired
No one can help me now
No one can help me now
No one can help me now
Sing it out to some dark cloud
Chasing and wasting for our own desires
We love what we need until the need grows tired
Chasing and wasting for our own desires
We love what we love until the love grows tired
You love what you love until I grow tired
About This Song
"I Need $" is a haunting exploration of financial desperation and emotional isolation, where Poliça's Channy Leaneagh delivers vulnerable vocals over the band's signature blend of dreamy synth-pop and R&B-influenced beats. The song captures the anxiety of mounting debt and the way financial stress can corrode relationships and self-worth, with lyrics that oscillate between raw need and defiant independence. Musically, the track features the band's characteristic layered vocals processed through Auto-Tune, creating an ethereal yet urgent atmosphere that mirrors the protagonist's emotional state. The juxtaposition of danceable rhythms with lyrics about dancing on tabletops out of desperation rather than joy creates a compelling tension that makes the song both catchy and deeply unsettling. It stands as a particularly honest portrayal of how economic pressure can strip away romantic idealism, leaving only survival instincts.
