What I need
what I need
(verse1)
why cant I just meet a total stranger
fall in love and live happily ever after
at the perfect ending to my story
the kind you only see in movies
things never happen that way, do they
in my reality the love just wont stay
it hurts like hell what im feeling
is that the way loves suppose to be
I've had enough, its like a drug
I cant give up my feeling.
I'm in his plans, my superman, my baby
(chorus)
all I want is someone
that could hold me down
that's gon be around
when I need him
giving me that real love
cause thats what hes about
someone to ride with me
thats what i need.
(verse 2)
I need someone whose sensitive is built up
someones who .....shows love
a real man, understanding but demanding
so proud and faithful to me
I need to feel like theres someone I could run to
he gives me more of his time then he's got to
gives me my space when I gotta go and do me
supports what ever makes me happy
I've had enough, its like a drug.
I cant give up my feeling.
I'm in his plans, my superman, my baby
(chorus)
all i want is someone
that could hold me down
that's gone be around
when I need him
giving me that real love
cause thats what hes about
someone to ride with me
thats what i need.
(bridge)
all I need
is something real, to me
baby, all i want
is to be happy, in love
(ohh all I want is someone) someone, that could hold me down
(hold me down) that's gon be around (be around)
(when I need him) ohh ohh ohh ohh ohhh
(giving me that real love) giving me nothing but his love
(cause thats what he's about) ohh oo ohh (someone to ride with me)
(that's what i need) that's what i need
(all i want is someone) what i want is someone
(that's could hold me down) hold me down
(that's gon be around, when i need him) when i need someone
(giving me that real love) oh oo oh oh oo oh
(cause that's what he's about) he's about
(someone to ride to me, that's what i need) that's what i need
that's what i need
that's what i need
