 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 - I can see  I need love
 There  I was, joking at  my games
 So many hearts and I'm saying  no names
 A thought  occurred, tears made my eyes  burn
 As I said to myself look what you've done  to her
 I can feel  it inside, I can't explain  how it feels
 All I know is I'll never dish another  raw deal
 Playing make  believe, pretending that  I'm true
 Holding in my laugh as I say  I love you
 Sayin'  amor, whispering in  your ear
 Saying I love you, I'll always  be here
 And though I often  reminisce I can't believe  that I found
 Desire for true love floating  around
 Inside  my soul because my soul  is cold
 Half of me deserves to be this way  until I'm old
 But the other  half needs affection  and joy and the warmth
 That is created 'tween a girl  and a boy I need love
 Romance,  sheer delight  how sweet
 I gotta find me a girl to make my life  complete
 Scratch  my back, we'll get cozy  and huddle
 I would lay down my jacket, you could walk  in a puddle
 I'll give  you a rose, pull out your chair  'fore we eat
 Kiss you on the cheek, Oh girl  ! You're so sweet
 It's deja  vu whenever I'm  with you
 I could go on forever tellin you  what I'd do
 But where  you are, you're neither here  or there
 I can't find you anywhere  you're not  in my closet or under  my rug
 This searching for love is really making  me bug
 So if you know  who you are why don't you make  yourself seen
 Take a chance with my love you'll see  what I mean
 Fantasies  can run, but they can't  hide
 And when I find you I will pour my love  inside, I need love
 I wanna kiss  you and hold you, never  scold you
 Suck on your neck, caress  you and rub you
 Cry  and moan, you'll never be  alone
 If you're standing next to me, or on  the phone
 Can't you hear  it in my voice? I need  love bad
 I got money, but love's something I never  had
 I need your ruby  red lips sweet face  and all
 I'd love you more than the man who's ten  feet tall
 I'd watch the sunrise  in your  eyes
 We're so in love, that when we hug, I feel paralyzed
 Our bodies  explode in ectasy  unreal
 You're as soft as a pillow, I'm as hard  as steel
 It's a dream,  I can't lie, I've never  been there
 This is an experience you and me  can share
 Clean  and unsoiled, yet sweaty  and wet
 I swear to you this is something I'll never  forget, I need love
 See I've changed,  I'm no longer,  a play boy on the run
 I need something  that's stronger friendship,  trust, respect and
 Admiration,  this whole experience is such a revelation
 It taught  me love and how to be  a real man
 To be considerate and do all  that I can
 To protect  you, you're my lady and you mean  so much
 My body tingles all over from the slightest  touch
 Of your hand  and understand I'll be frozen  in time
 Till we meet face to face and you tell  me you're mine
 When I find  you, I swear, I'll be  a good man
 I'm not gonna leave it in destiny's  hands
 I can't  sit and wait for my princess  to arrive
 I gotta struggle and fight to keep my dream  alive
 I'll search  the whole world for that special  girl and
 When I finally found you, watch our love  unfurl, I need love

When I'm al[F]one in my room, sometimes I st[Em]are at the wall
And in the back of my mind, I hear my con[C]science call
Telling m[F]e I need a girl who's as s[Em]weet as a dove
For the first time - I can s[C]ee I need love
Th[F]ere I was, joking [Em]at my games
So many hearts and I'm sa[C]ying no names
A tho[F]ught occurred, tears made my e[Em]yes burn
As I said to myself look what you've d[C]one to her

I can f[F]eel it inside, I can't exp[Em]lain how it feels

Playing m[F]ake believe,  pretending t[Em]hat I'm true
Holding in my laugh as I s[C]ay I love you
Sa[F]yin' amor, whispering i[Em]n your ear
Saying I love you, I'll a[C]lways be here
And though I [F]often reminisce I can't be[Em]lieve that I found
Desire for true love fl[C]oating around

Ins[F]ide my soul because my s[Em]oul is cold
Half of me deserves to be this w[C]ay until I'm old

This searching for love is really m[C]aking me bug
So if you kn[F]ow who you are why don't you m[Em]ake yourself seen

Can't you he[F]ar it in my voice?  I n[Em]eed love bad
I got money, but love's something I n[C]ever had
I need your r[F]uby red lips sweet f[Em]ace and all
I'd love you more than the man who's t[C]en feet tall

I'd watch the su[F]nrise in yo[Em]ur eyes
We're so in love, that when we hug, I feel pa[C]ralyzed
Our b[F]odies explode in ecta[Em]sy unreal
You're as soft as a pillow, I'm as h[C]ard as steel
It's a dr[F]eam, I can't lie, I've n[Em]ever been there
