I Need Love (Edit)

[Verse 1]

When I'm alone in my room sometimes I stare at the wall

And in the back of my mind I hear my conscience call

Telling me I need a girl who's as sweet as a dove

For the first time in my life, I see I need love

There I was giggling about the games

That I had played with many hearts, and I'm not saying no names

Then the thought occured, tear drops made my eyes burn

As I said to myself, "Look what you've done to her"

I can feel it inside, I can't explain how it feels

All I know is that I'll never dish another raw deal

Playing make-believe pretending that I'm true

Holding in my laugh as I say that I love you

Saying amor kissing you on the ear

Whispering, "I love you and I'll always be here"

Although I often reminisce I can't believe that I found

A desire for true love floating around

Inside my soul because my soul is cold

One half of me deserves to be this way 'til I'm old

But the other half needs affection and joy

And the warmth that is created by a girl and a boy

[Chorus]

I need love

I need love

[Verse 2]

Romance, sheer delight, how sweet?

I gotta find me a girl to make my life complete

You can scratch my back, we'll get cozy and huddle

I'll lay down my jacket so you can walk over a puddle

I'll give you a rose, pull out your chair before we eat

Kiss you on the cheek and say, "Ooh girl, you're so sweet"

It's deja vu whenever I'm with you

I could go on forever telling you what I do

But where you at? You're neither here or there

I swear I can't find you anywhere

Damn sure you ain't in my closet, or under my rug

This love search is really making me bug

And if you know who you are why don't you make yourself seen?

Take the chance with my love and you'll find out what I mean

Fantasies can run, but they can't hide

And when I find you I'm gon' pour all my love inside

[Chorus]

I need love

I need love

[Verse 3]

See what I mean? I've changed, I'm no longer

A playboy on the run, I need something that's stronger

Friendship, trust, honor, respect, admiration

This whole experience has been such a revelation

It's taught me love and how to be a real man

To always be considerate and do all I can

Protect you, you're my lady and you mean so much

My body tingles all over from the slightest touch

Of your hand and understand I'll be frozen in time

'Til we meet face to face and you tell me you're mine

If I find you, girl, I swear I'll be a good man

I'm not gonna leave it in destiny's hands

I can't sit and wait for my princess to arrive

I gotta struggle and fight to keep my dream alive

I'll search the whole world for that special girl

When I finally find you watch our love unfurl

[Chorus]

I need love

I need love

[Outro]

Girl, listen to me

When I be sitting in my room all alone, staring at the wall

Fantasies, they go through my mind, and

I've come to realize that I need true love

And if you wanna give it to me, girl, make yourself seen

I'll be waiting

I love you
