[Intro]
Yea..
I been tryna get away
But it's just something about u
That's pulling me back in...
Ya know?
[Chorus]
Girl ya what I need
And I can't even front, I'm wilding out...
Planin on you can calm me down...
You make it alright when your around
Girl your what I need
[Verse]
I know u think I'm just saying all these things
Cause your here now...
And I know what your thinkin...
If this is true, then why didn't I do all these things when I had you..
[Bridge]
It's because I knew you had quite enough...
But I feel brand new...
And I'm fessing up...
[Chorus]
Girl ya what I need
And I can't even front, I'm wilding out...
Planin on you can calm me down...
You make it alright when your around
Girl your what I need
And u know that your all I think about
Plannin on we can work it out...
I'm tired of the games, stop playing around...
Girl your what I need.
[Verse]
The 1st time I got caught up
I swear it wasn't even in my plans...
I got caught up in somehow
And I don't know what I was thinkin
But thats back in 02
In 04 I'm brand new
In 05 wont be seen without you.
[Bridge]
It's because I knew you had quite enough...
But I feel brand new...
And I'm fessing up...
[Chorus]
Girl ya what I need
And I can't even front, I'm wilding out...
Planin on you can calm me down...
You make it alright when your around
Girl your what I need
[Breakdown]
Let me take you ova this bridge
So won't you tell me
That were not supposed to be
And that I'm not ready to give you what u need...
So wont you tell me
Theres no way that u could be
More than in love with me
Cuz your all that I need... Whoooooo...
[Chorus]
Girl ya what I need
And I can't even front, I'm wilding out...
Planin on you can calm me down...
You make it alright when your around
Girl your what I need [x2]
(I been wilding in the club screaming r&b and thug...but I don't wanna live that life no more!)
Girl, your what I need!!
Girl, your what I need!![fade out]
