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