The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, oh, oh, mm, love
When you need love you can count on me
When you need love, I'm a call away
You can count on me
When you need love I'm here to stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
When you need love, though
Remind me how it feels waking up in a cloud of love
I'm looking for a tender touch, oh
But I'ma take my time, no rush
I like the way it feels to be free
It's about time, I got options, I won't lie
Don't want you to think my heart is cold
But I've been hurt before
And I just want someone to hold me close briefly
I need someone who knows I'm not the one to be controlled
I may not stay, I may not go
Warning you now, don't get too close
'Causе you gon' miss me every timе that I go
But I'ma give you something that you can hold
I'll stick around if you can play your hole
And when you
When you need love you can count on me
When you need love, I'm a call away
You can count on me
When you need love I'm here to stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
When you need love, though
Feels all good in the beginning
You’re a pretty girl and you think you’re winning
But when it wears off it’s a bad ending
Don’t mind holding you down if you keep your interest
I just want someone to hold me close briefly
I need someone who knows I'm not the one to be controlled
I may not stay, I may not go
Warning you now, don't get too close
'Causе you gon' miss me every timе that I go
But I'ma give you something that you can hold
I'll stick around if you can play your hole
And you know that you—
When you need love you can count on me
When you need love, I'm a call away
You can count on me
When you need love I'm here to stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
When you need love, though (real ones need love)
When you need love you can count on me
When you need love, I'm a call away
You can count on me
When you need love I'm here to stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
When you need love, though
