LL Got It Right

LL got it right
Because when I'm alone in my room I sometimes stare at the wall
Searching in the paint for the answer that will solve it all
I smile and I laugh putting on a pretty big show
Keeping a secret my parents surely don't know
But its time, I guess
Too get this pain off my chest
Because when push comes to shove
Its time that I tell y'all that Man....I need love.

Its weird I know its weird for me too
Because I'm the girl who walks around like she don't need a dude
And its true I don't
I'm one of those independent few
But my heart doesn't walk the same path I want it too
I hear it scream and shout
The words try to get out
Until it makes me see
What will set me free
And I can't wait because Man.... I need love.

What I need is to be held so good
That a simple touch will shake my whole lively-hood
I need that tender stroke of compassion
I need some old fashion
That intimacy that's more than a physical need
But someone who doesn't mind waiting for a girl like me
A girl with a brain
Who has a goal to maintain
That doesn't let foolishness get in her way
So sorry baby boy cause Man....I need love.

I need love at the most highest degree
Bachelors, Masters, PHD
I need Romeo's lust
A man I can surely trust
A certain individual who reaches for the sky
And holds me when I cry
That knows its better to tell me the truth than to tell me a lie
A fire that lasts but never burns
A student that spread what it learns
My soul-mate that God made from above
Man I got it bad, Man....I need love

Not a little quickie
Two weeks of hickeys
That's not my style
I need someone to make my heart go wild
That knows that sweet little words want get you in these pants
Because abstinence is where I stand
So I need a ring on this hand
To give you all of me
My heart and my soul
I'll let it explode
My blood like the sea
Red with what I need
Romantic I am
Hopeless I may be
But this message from a dove
Is all real Its all me
Because Man....I need love.
