"I need you to get out of here."

"I need you to get out of here."

I think we can interpret the sentence in two ways:

1) I do not need you so get out of here.

2) To get out of here, I need your help or you.

Do you agree with the two different interpretations? Thank you so much as usual and have a good day.

I disagree with #1 completely, and #2 is an unlikely interpretation. I need you to get out of here. = It is necessary that you leave.
