LL Cool J I Need Love
---------------------------------------------------------------------
When I'm alFone in my room, sometimes I stEmare at the wall
And in the back of my mind, I hear my conCscience call
Telling mFe I need a girl who's as sEmweet as a dove
For the first time - I can sCee I need love
ThFere I was, joking Emat my games
So many hearts and I'm saCying no names
A thoFught occurred, tears made my eEmyes burn
As I said to myself look what you've dCone to her
I can fFeel it inside, I can't expEmlain how it feels
All I know is I'll never dish anoCther raw deal
Playing mFake believe, pretending tEmhat I'm true
Holding in my laugh as I sCay I love you
SaFyin' amor, whispering iEmn your ear
Saying I love you, I'll aClways be here
And though I Foften reminisce I can't beEmlieve that I found
Desire for true love flCoating around
InsFide my soul because my sEmoul is cold
Half of me deserves to be this wCay until I'm old
But the Fother half needs afEmfection and joy and the warmth
That is created 'tween a Cgirl and a boy I need lFove Em C
RomFance, sheer delEmight how sweet
I gotta find me a girl to make my lCife complete
ScrFatch my back, we'll get cEmozy and huddle
I would lay down my jacket, you could wCalk in a puddle
I'll gFive you a rose, pull out your chEmair 'fore we eat
Kiss you on the cheek, Oh gCirl ! You're so sweet
It's dFeja vu whenever EmI'm with you
I could go on forever tellin yCou what I'd do
But whFere you are, you're neither hEmere or there
I can't find you aCnywhere you're nFot in my closet or uEmnder my rug
This searching for love is really mCaking me bug
So if you knFow who you are why don't you mEmake yourself seen
Take a chance with my love you'll sCee what I mean
FaFntasies can run, but they cEman't hide
And when I find you I will pour my lCove inside, I need FlovEmeC
I wanna kFiss you and hold you, nEmever scold you
Suck on your neck, carCess you and rub you
CrFy and moan, you'll never bEme alone
If you're standing next to me, or oCn the phone
Can't you heFar it in my voice? I nEmeed love bad
I got money, but love's something I nCever had
I need your rFuby red lips sweet fEmace and all
I'd love you more than the man who's tCen feet tall
I'd watch the suFnrise in yoEmur eyes
We're so in love, that when we hug, I feel paCralyzed
Our bFodies explode in ectaEmsy unreal
You're as soft as a pillow, I'm as hCard as steel
It's a drFeam, I can't lie, I've nEmever been there
This is an experience you and mCe can share
ClFean and unsoiled, yet swEmeaty and wet
I swear to you this is something I'll neCver forget, I need lFoveEm C
See I've chFanged, I'm no Emlonger, a play boy on the run
I need sComething that's stronger friFendship, trust, respect and
AEmdmiration, this whole experience is such a rCevelation
It taFught me love and how to Embe a real man
To be considerate and do aCll that I can
To protFect you, you're my lady and you mEmean so much
My body tingles all over from the slCightest touch
Of your hFand and understand I'll be frEmozen in time
Till we meet face to face and you tCell me you're mine
When I fFind you, I swear, I'll Embe a good man
I'm not gonna leave it in dCestiny's hands
I cFan't sit and wait for my prEmincess to arrive
I gotta struggle and fight to keep my dreCam alive
I'll seFarch the whole world for that sEmpecial girl and
When I finally found you, watch our lCove unfurl, I need lFovEmeC
