Stacy Lattisaw
Stacy Lattisaw (born November 25, 1966) is an American R&B, Dance and gospel singer. From her debut in 1979 until 1990, she sang mostly R&B and Pop music. Since the 1990s, she has exclusively sung gospel music.
Career
When she was a teenager in the early 1980s, Lattisaw had a string of Top 40 R&B hits, with several songs— "Let Me Be Your Angel", "Jump to the Beat", "Love on a Two-Way Street", and "Miracles"—crossing over to the pop mainstream. Lattisaw recorded her first album for Cotillion Records at the age of 12 in 1979, under the direction of record producer Van McCoy. However it was not until she affiliated with Narada Michael Walden, a former drummer with the Mahavishnu Orchestra who was just beginning a career as a producer, that she found success. Under Walden's direction, she had five hit albums between 1981 and 1986. She also opened for the Jacksons Triumph Tour in 1981. From Lattisaw's 1982 album Sneakin' Out, Mariah Carey used a sample of the song "Attack of the Name Game" (R&B #14) for her 1999 #1 hit "Heartbreaker."

WHAT YOU NEED
by: Stacy LattisawYour face is beaming
You say it's 'cause you're dreaming
Of how good it's going to be
You say you've been around
And now you've finally found
Everything you wanted and needed in me
[Chorus:]
I don't have the heart to hurt you
It's the last thing I wanna do
But I don't have the heart to love you
Not the way you want me to
Inside I'm dying
Seeing you crying
How can I make you understand
I care about you
So much about you
I'm trying to say this, as gently as I can
[Chorus]
You're so trusting
And Open
Hoping that love will start
But I don't have the heart
Oh no, I don't have the heart
[Chorus]
