    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

    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

    • 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.
