I Need Love

This is where my story begins
Standin 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 feelin it is
I had a lot of crushes close to nothin like this

And every time the subject would come up
I made up every excuse that I could think of
I used to run but now I'm gettin warmed up
In a few words this feelin 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 somethin'
And make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin'

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 somethin'
And make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin', I need

I was hangin' out with my friends
Seven nights a week, if there's a party I'm in
But I started gettin sick of it
And when I looked back I didn't know what it meant

I guess I wasn't interested
In findin somethin real though I was lookin for it
You should have been lookin for me
But you opened up my eyes and now I can see

And every time the subject would come up
When they say, "I love you", then I only dumb up
A lot of guys wanna [Incomprehensible] or shut up
But you're the only one who told me your love was endless

A lot of words with feelin cannot sum up
But first I had to figure out who I was
To try and understand there ain't no shortcuts
Now the only thing that's missin 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 somethin'
And make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin'

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 somethin'
And make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin', 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 Ive been lookin for a man who could understand me
And I got a lot of love to give, baby, don't you hear me?

Slow dance, hold hands, all I want is romance

Love for the first time in my life
I need love
