I need you, I need you I need you, I need you I need you, I want you, Won't stop until I've got you, There's nothing that I won't do, I need you tonight, Look, I ain't never been the type to be this (no) I ain't never been the type to be with, she's exposin' a side of me that, I'm tryna' fight, I'm tryna' hide!
