1987Hip-hop
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
F
G

There I was, giggling about the games
Em

That I had played with many hearts
Dm

and I'm not saying no names
Em

Then the thought occurred,
G
F

tear drops made my eyes burn

As I said to myself,

"Look what you've done to her"
F
G

I can feel it inside, I can't explain how it feels
Em

All I know is that I'll never
Dm

dish another raw deal
Em

Playing make-believe,
G

pretending that I'm true
F

Holding in my laugh

as I say that I love you
G
Em

Saying amore, kissing you on the ear

Whispering "I love you"
Dm

and "I'll always be here"
Em

Although I often reminisce,
G

I can't believe that I've found
F

A desire for true love, floating around
G

Inside my soul because my soul is cold
Em

One half of me deserves
Dm

to be this way 'til I'm old
Em

But the other half
G

needs affection and joy
F

And the warmth that is created

by a girl and a boy
Chorus 1
F
Em
Dm
C

I need love
F
Em
Dm
C

I need love
Verse 2
F
G

Romance, sheer delight, how sweet
Em

I gotta find me a girl
Dm

to make my life complete
Em

You can scratch my back,
G

we'll get cozy and huddle
F

I'll lay down my jacket

so you can walk over a puddle

I'll give you a rose,
G

pull out your chair before we eat
Em

Kiss you on the cheek and say
Dm

"Ooh, girl, you're so sweet"
Em
G

It's deja vu whenever I'm with you
F

I can go on forever telling you what I'll do

But where you at?
G

You're neither here nor there
Em
Dm

I swear, I can't find you anywhere
Em

Damn sure ain't in my closet,
G

or under my rug
F

This love search is really making me bug

And if you know who you are,
G

why don't you make yourself seen
Em

Take a chance with my love
Dm

and you'll find out what I mean
Em
G

Fantasies can run, but they can't hide
F

And when I find you,

I'ma pour all my love inside
Chorus 2
F
Em
Dm
C

I need love
F
Em
Dm
C

I need love
Verse 3
F

I wanna kiss you, hold you,
G
Em

never scold you, just love you

Suck on your neck,
Dm

caress you and rub you
Em
G

Grind, moan, and never be alone
F

If you're not standing next to me,

you're on the phone

Can't you hear it in my voice?
G

I need love bad
Em

I got money but love's something
Dm

I never had
Em

I need your ruby red lips,
G

sweet face and all
F

I love you more than a man

who's ten feet tall
G

I watch the sun rise in your eyes
Em

We're so in love when we hug,
Dm

we become paralyzed
Em
G

Our bodies explode in ecstasy unreal
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,
G

I've never been there
Em

Maybe this is an experience
Dm

that me and you can share
Em
G

Clean and unsoiled, yet sweaty and wet
F

I swear to you, this is something

I'll never forget
Chorus 3
F
Em
Dm
C

I need love
F
Em
Dm
C

I need love
Verse 4
F

See what I mean? I've changed,
G
Em

I'm no longer

A playboy on the run,
Dm

I need something that's stronger
Em
G

Friendship, trust, honor, respect, admiration
F

This whole experience has been

such a revelation

It's taught me love
G
Em

and how to be a real man
Dm

To always be considerate and do all I can
Em

Ptotect you, you're my lady
G

and you mean so much
F

My body tingles all over

from the slightest touch

Of your hand, and understand,
G

I'll be frozen in time
Em

'Til we meet face to face
Dm

and you tell me you're mine
Em

If I find you, girl, I swear
G

I'll be a good man
F

I'm not gonna leave it in destiny's hands
G

I can't sit and wait for my princess to arrive
Em

I gotta struggle and fight
Dm

to keep my dream alive
Em

I'd search the whole world
G

for that special girl
F

And when I finally find you,

watch our love unfurl
Chorus 4
F
Em
Dm
C

I need love
F
Em
Dm
C

I need love
Outro 1
F
G

Girl, listen to me
Em

When I be sitting in my room,
Dm
Em

all alone, staring at the wall
G
F

Fantasies, they go through my mind
G

And I've come to realize that,
Em
Dm

I need true love
Em

And if you wanna give it to me,
G

girl, make yourself seen
F

I'll be waiting

I love you
F
G
Em
Dm

Em
G
F

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
