[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
I see I need love, I see I need love, I see I need love
There I was, giggling about the game-ame-ame-ame-ames
That I had played with many hearts, and I'm not saying no names
Then the thought occurred, tear drops made my eyes burn
"-t you've done to her"
I can feel it inside, I can't explain how it feels-eels-eels-eels
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, that I love you, that I love you, that I love you
Saying amor, kissing you on the ear
Whispering, "I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you and-and-and-and I'll always be here"
Although I often reminisce-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-this way 'til-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

[Hook]
I need love
I need love
I need love
I need love
I need love
[Verse 2]
Romance, sheer delight, how sweet?
I gotta-I gotta-I gotta-I gotta find me a girl to make my life complete
You can scratch my back, we'll get cozy and hud-hud-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-ch-ch-cheek and say, "ooh girl, you're so sweet"
It's déjà-jà-jà v-vu- déjà vu whenever I'm with you
I-I-I-I could go on forever telling you what I-what I-what I'd do
I-I could go on forever telling you what I'd do
I-I could go on forever telling you what I-at I-what I'd do
I could go on forever telling you what I'd do
But where you at? You're neither here or there
I swear I can't find you any-any-any-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-why don't you make yourself seen?
Take the chance-chance with-chance-ce 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

[Hook]
I need love
I need love
I need love-need love
I need love
I-I-I need love
I need love
