I Need Love (I Figured It Out)
Intro
N DOT… C and Marie
I came, and I saw, and
I opened, my heart, and
I’ll give you, my all,
Cause I love you
(Now)
Verse 1
I’m walking this earth alone, I need to roam/
Get out this home, and find a girl I call my own/
But I’m scorned with eternal storms, born with mental thorns/
Force to conceal my emotions, and perform/
I’m drained from shame, I can’t complain/
The pain I contain, is the brain, not submitting to the game/
It’s the simplest thing, being brave, get my feet wet/
Open minded for love, and not keep it as a secret/
With Taryn I was close to approach, but nope, I choked/
Tippy toed, off the boat, with no result/
Lost hope, and had the same pulse, as a ghost/
If backing out was the punch line, then I am the joke/
I’m in a lose-lose, situation/
Standing clearing of pain, but I’m hurting myself, from not dating/
It’s better to of love and lost, than not love at all/
I would love to lose the fear, and jump the wall, c’mon
Chorus
I’m a sucker for love, don’t let anybody tell you/
They’ll be breaking your heart, don’t let anybody fool you/
Cause you might go through pain, but it ain’t going to kill you/
I find out it builds you, I say to myself/
I Need Love, I Figured it Out/
I Need Love, I Figured it Out/
I Need Love, So look into my eyes/
Deep down inside, it’s what’s missing in my life/
Verse 2
I feel I’m surrounded by empty spaces/
New day same faces, the same old places
I’m tired of occasions, fighting temptations/
It’s time for a change, I out ran my patience/
There’s no such thing, as safe relations/
Paranoid sensations, and accusations/
Of infidelity, so confrontations/
Of secret jealousy, spark from allegations/
Second nature, to have those, thoughts regardless/
Cut through the nonsense, my simple process/
Of going with the logic, emotions, squash it/
Witness of divorce, is what keeps me haunted/
I don’t know why I have these feelings suppressed/
I’m just building the stress, that’s stealing my breath/
The good will, I feel, I have left, is depressed/
But that’s just life, you’re always in for a test, c’mon (Wooh!)
Marie – Chorus Repeat
I’m a sucker for love, don’t let anybody tell you/
They’ll be breaking your heart, don’t let anybody fool you/
Cause you might go through pain, but it ain’t going to kill you/
I find out it builds you, I say to myself/
I Need Love, I Figured it Out/
I Need Love, I Figured it Out/
I Need Love, So look into my eyes/
Deep down inside, it’s what’s missing in my life/
Verse 3
Now, time is ticking, and I envision/
The finer things in life, you can only find in women/
Fantasized all my life, wife and children/
Provide them by the mic, cause sky’s the limit/
But inside decisions, filled with frightful feelings/
Feelings I don’t need, it only drives the villain/
And with time there’s healing, or that’s what they say/
But I still remember the pain, I experienced in ninth grade/
And with memory lane, I lose faith in love/
Cause I seen the break ups, and what they’re capable of/
And I just play it tough, that’s only on the surface/
Cause the shield falls, when I’m involved, with any hurting/
Ticked off, the pitfalls, is a burden/
I need to lift off, anxiety, it ain’t working/
So baby, this song is meaningful/
I’m sorry I waited a long time to be with you, c’mon (c’mon… c’mon)
Marie – Chorus Repeat
I’m a sucker for love, don’t let anybody tell you/
They’ll be breaking your heart, don’t let anybody fool you/
Cause you might go through pain, but it ain’t going to kill you/
I find out it builds you, I say to myself/
I Need Love, I Figured it Out/
I Need Love, I Figured it Out/
I Need Love, So look into my eyes/
Deep down inside, it’s what’s missing in my life/
