Oh, oh oh...

This is where my story begins
Standing here with you
I'm about to give in
And I'm gonna give all I can give
Even though in previous relationships
I might have been mischievous
I wasn't already ready
I admit to this
But what a good feeling it is
I've had a lot of crushes
Close to nothing like this
Everytime the subject would come
I made up every excuse that I could think of
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
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That 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
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That 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
I started getting sick of it
But when I looked back I didn't know what it meant
I guess I wasn't interested
In finding something real
Though I was looking for it
You should've been looking for me
But you opened up my eyes
And now I can see
And everytime the subject would come up
When they say "I love you"
Then I only dumb up
A lot of guys
A girl or shut up
But you're the only guy that told me your love was endless
A lot of words with feeling can not sum up
But first I had to figure out who I was
To try and understand that there ain't no shortcuts
Now the only thing that's missing 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
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That 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
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That 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 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

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 been looking for a man who could understand me
And I got a lot of love to give
Baby don't you hear me

For the first time in my life
I need love
Oh I need
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin

I need

For the first time in my life
I need love
Ain't no love up in the club
I need love
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin

I need

For the first time in my life
I need love
Ain't no love up in the club
I need love
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That 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 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
