I Need Love Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
When I'm alone in my room
sometimes I stare at the wall
And in the back of my mind
I hear my conscience call
Telling me I need a girl
who's as sweet as a dove
For the first time in my life,
I see I need love

[Verse 1]
There I [F]was, giggling about the [G]games
That [Em]I had played with many hearts
and I'm not saying no [Dm]names
Then the [Em]thought occurred,
tear drops made [G]my [F]eyes burn
As I said to myself,
"Look what you've done to her"
I can [F]feel it inside, I can't explain how it [G]feels
[Em]All I know is that I'll never
dish another raw [Dm]deal
Playing [Em]make-believe,
pretending that I'm [G]true
[F]Holding in my laugh
as I say that I love you
Saying amore, kissing you on the [G]ear[Em]
Whispering "I love you"
and "I'll always be [Dm]here"
Although I [Em]often reminisce,
I can't believe that I've [G]found
[F]A desire for true love, floating around
Inside my soul because my soul is [G]cold
[Em]One half of me deserves
to be this way 'til I'm [Dm]old
But the [Em]other half
needs affection and [G]joy
[F]And the warmth that is created
by a girl and a boy

[Chorus 1]
I need [F]love[Em][Dm][C]
I need [F]love[Em][Dm][C]

[Verse 2]
[F]Romance, sheer delight, how [G]sweet
[Em]I gotta find me a girl
to make my life com[Dm]plete
You can [Em]scratch my back,
we'll get cozy and [G]huddle
[F]I'll lay down my jacket
so you can walk over a puddle
I'll give you a rose,
pull out your chair before we [G]eat
[Em]Kiss you on the cheek and say
"Ooh, girl, you're so [Dm]sweet"
It's [Em]deja vu whenever I'm with [G]you
[F]I can go on forever telling you what I'll do
But where you at?
You're neither here nor [G]there
[Em]I swear, I can't find you anywhe[Dm]re
Damn [Em]sure ain't in my closet,
or under my [G]rug
[F]This love search is really making me bug
And if you know who you are,
why don't you make yourself [G]seen
[Em]Take a chance with my love
and you'll find out what I [Dm]mean
[Em]Fantasies can run, but they can't [G]hide
And [F]when I find you,
I'ma pour all my love inside

[Chorus 2]
I need [F]love[Em][Dm][C]
I need [F]love[Em][Dm][C]

[Verse 3]
I wanna [F]kiss you, hold you,
never scold you, just [G]love [Em]you
Suck on your neck,
caress you and [Dm]rub you
[Em]Grind, moan, and never be a[G]lone
[F]If you're not standing next to me,
you're on the phone
Can't you hear it in my voice?
I need love [G]bad
I [Em]got money but love's something
I never [Dm]had
I need your [Em]ruby red lips,
sweet face and [G]all
I [F]love you more than a man
who's ten feet tall
I watch the sun rise in your [G]eyes
We're [Em]so in love when we hug,
we become [Dm]paralyzed
Our [Em]bodies explode in ecstasy un[G]real
[F]You're as soft as a pillow
and I'm as hard as steel
It's like a dream land, I can't lie,
I've never been [G]there
[Em]Maybe this is an experience
that me and you can [Dm]share
[Em]Clean and unsoiled, yet sweaty and [G]wet
I [F]swear to you, this is something
I'll never forget

[Chorus 3]
I need [F]love[Em][Dm][C]
I need [F]love[Em][Dm][C]

[Verse 4]
[F]See what I mean? I've changed,
I'm no [G]longer[Em]
A playboy on the run,
I need something that's [Dm]stronger
[Em]Friendship, trust, honor, respect, admi[G]ration
This [F]whole experience has been
such a revelation
It's taught me love
and how to be a [G]real [Em]man
To always be considerate and do all I [Dm]can
Pto[Em]tect you, you're my lady
and you mean so [G]much
[F]My body tingles all over
from the slightest touch
Of your hand, and understand,
I'll be frozen in [G]time
[Em]'Til we meet face to face
and you tell me you're [Dm]mine
If I [Em]find you, girl, I swear
I'll be a good [G]man
[F]I'm not gonna leave it in destiny's hands
I can't sit and wait for my princess to ar[G]rive
I [Em]gotta struggle and fight
to keep my dream a[Dm]live
I'd [Em]search the whole world
for that special [G]girl
And [F]when I finally find you,
watch our love unfurl

[Chorus 4]
I need [F]love[Em][Dm][C]
I need [F]love[Em][Dm][C]

[Outro 1]
[F]Girl, listen to me[G]
[Em]When I be sitting in my room,
all a[Dm]lone, [Em]staring at the wall
[G]Fan[F]tasies, they go through my mind
And I've come to realize [G]that,
[Em]I need true love[Dm]
And if you [Em]wanna give it to me,
girl, make yourself [G]seen
[F]I'll be waiting
I love you
[F][G][Em][Dm]
[Em][G][F]
[Repeat and Fade]
