Look at her hips, I want to be her pager
Conservative, affirmative
Actually, when she relaxing in sweats and bobby pins (Alright)
The beauty of her (Alright), a blind man can see (Alright)
A true queen (Yes), and she needs me
[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
She needs me, she needs me
She needs me, she needs me
The beauty of her, swear to God, a blind man can see
A true queen, and she needs me
[Post-Chorus: JaVonté]
That girl is smokin', and can you believe that I'm her focus?
It ain't hard to see she got me open, and together we are roller-coasting on, on, on
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]

Oh, what a girl (Uh), how great life can be (Uh)
And though she got the world (Uh huh), she needs me
[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
She needs me, she needs me
She needs me, she needs me
Oh, what a girl, wonder how her life can be
And though she got the world, she needs me
[Post-Chorus: JaVonté]
That girl is smokin', and can you believe that I'm her focus?
It ain't hard to see she got me open, and together we are roller-coasting on, on, on

He bent down (Uh huh), got on one knee (Then what?)
She looked him in the eye (Then what?), and said she needs me
[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
She needs me, she needs me
She needs me, she needs me
Even if we seem to separate, eventually, it'll come to pass and she'll need me
[Post-Chorus: JaVonté]

It ain't hard to see she got me open, and together we are roller-coasting on, on, on
