I Need Love - Original Cartel

Written by：Ivan Barias/Carvin Haggins/Rene Schumans/Ledisi Anibade Young/Johnnie Ii Smith/Angela Brouwers

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 reminsce

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

Till I'm old

But the other half needs affection and joy

And the warmth that is created

By a girl and a boy

I need love

I need love

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

I need love

I need love

I wanna kiss you hold you

Never scold you just love you

Suck on you neck caress you and rub you

Grind moan and never be alone

If you're not standing next to me

You're on the phone

Can't you hear it in my voice

I need love bad

I've got money

But love's something I've never had

I need your ruby red lips

Sweet face and all

I love you more than a man

Who's 10 feet tall

I'd watch the sunrise in your eyes

We're so in love when we hug we

Become paralyzed

Our bodies explode in ecstasy unreal

You're as soft as a pillow and

I'm as hard as steel

It's like a dream land I can't lie

I never been there

Maybe this is an experience

That me and you can share

Clean and unsoiled yet sweaty and wet

I swear to you this is something

I'll never forget

I need love

I need love

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 underst

And I'll be frozen in time

Till 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

I need love

I need love

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
