Yeah I'll sing this
Yeah
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 (love, love, love, love...)
I need love
I need love
WME in the house, huh
Girl listen to me
When I was sittin' in my room all alone
Staring at the wall
Fantasies they go through my mind
And I've come to realise that
I need true love
And if you need it to, make yourself seen
I'll be waiting, I love you
But every time I come down south
Always think about this version of "I Need Love" me and Z did
That never came out, that we just played with a lil' bit
And it went something like this
When I'm alone in my room sometimes I stare at the wall
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
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 tell 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
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
That is created by a girl and a boy
I need love
I need it
I need love
I need it
I need love
I need it
I need love
I need it
Break it down
Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singin' songs about the south-land
(Hands up, hands up)
I miss Alabamy once again
And I think it's a sin
