I Need Love

Uh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

This is where my story begins

Standing here with you, I'm about to give in

And I'ma give all I can give

Even though in previous relationships

I might have been mischievous

I wasn't always ready, I admit to this

But what a good feeling it is

I had a lot of crushes, close to nothing like this (yeah, uh)

And every time the subject would come up (yeah, yeah)

I made up every excuse that I could think of (oh, yeah)

I used to run, but now I'm getting warmed up

In a few words, this feeling, I could sum up

I need love

For the first time in my life, I need love

Ain't no love up in the club, I need love

Wanna cuddle up to someone that make me feel like I'm something

Getting sick and tired of fronting

I need love

For the first time in my life, I need love

Ain't no love up in the club, I need love

I wanna cuddle up to someone that make me feel like I'm something

Getting sick and tired of fronting, I need

I was hanging out with my friends

Seven nights a week, if there's a party, I'm in

But I started getting sick of it

And when I looked back, I didn't know what it meant (what it meant)

I guess I wasn't interested in finding something real

Though I was looking for it (looking for it)

You should've been looking for me

But you opened up my eyes, and now I can see

And every time the subject would come up (oh)

When they say "I love you" then I only dumb up

A lot of guys wouldn't put up, girl, oh, shut up (oh)

But you're the only one who told me your love was endless

A lot of words with feeling cannot sum up

First I had to figure out who I was (oh)

To try and understand there ain't no shortcuts

Now the only thing that's missing now is your love

I need love

For the first time in my life, I need love

Ain't no love up in the club, I need love

Wanna cuddle up to someone that make me feel like I'm something

Getting sick and tired of fronting, I need love

For the first time in my life, I need love

Ain't no love up in the club, I need love

I wanna cuddle up to someone that make me feel like I'm something

Getting sick and tired of fronting, I need

Slow dance, hold hands, all I want is romance

If it's real, let me know it's real, baby, take a chance

'Cause I've been looking for a man who could understand me

And I got a lot of love to give, baby, don't you hear me? (Love)

Slow dance, hold hands, all I want is romance (love)

If it's real, let me know it's real, baby, take a chance (love)

'Cause I've been looking for a man who could understand me

And I got a lot of love to give, baby, don't you hear me? (Love)

Slow dance (love), hold hands

For the first time in my life, I need love

If it's real, let me know it's real (all I need, love)

'Cause I've been looking for a man

Wanna cuddle up to someone that make me feel like I'm something

Getting sick and tired of fronting, I need love

Slow dance, hold hands (for the first time in my life, I need love)

(If it's real, let me know it's real) wanna feel, I wanna feel, I need love

I wanna cuddle up to someone that make me feel like I'm something

Getting sick and tired of fronting, I need love

Slow dance, hold hands (for the first time in my life, I need love)

(If it's real, let me know it's real) ain't no love up in the club, I need love

I wanna cuddle up to someone that make me feel like I'm something

Getting sick and tired of fronting, I need love

Slow dance, hold hands, all I want is romance (love)

If it's real, let me know it's real, baby, take a chance (yeah, love)

'Cause I been looking for a man who could understand me

And I got a lot of love to give, baby, don't you hear me? (Love)
