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)
