This is where my story begins   Standin? here with you I'm about to give in   And I'ma give all I can give   Even though in previous relationships      I might have been mischievous   I wasn't always ready, I admit to this   But what a good feelin? it is   I had a lot of crushes close to nothin? like this      And every time the subject would come up   I made up every excuse that I could think of   I used to run but now I'm gettin? warmed up   In a few words this feelin? I could sum up      I need love for the first time in my life   I need love, ain't no love up in the club   I need love, wanna cuddle up to somethin'   And make me feel like I'm somethin'   Gettin' sick and tired of frontin'      I need love for the first time in my life   I need love, ain't no love up in the club   I need love, I wanna cuddle up to somethin'   And make me feel like I'm somethin'   Gettin' sick and tired of frontin', I need      I was hangin' out with my friends   Seven nights a week, if there's a party I'm in   But I started gettin? sick of it   And when I looked back I didn't know what it meant      I guess I wasn't interested   In findin? somethin? real though I was lookin? for it   You should have been lookin? for me   But you opened up my eyes and now I can see      And every time the subject would come up   When they say, "I love you", then I only dumb up   A lot of guys wanna [Incomprehensible] or shut up   But you're the only one who told me your love was endless      A lot of words with feelin? cannot sum up   But first I had to figure out who I was   To try and understand there ain't no shortcuts   Now the only thing that's missin? now is your love      I need love for the first time in my life   I need love, ain't no love up in the club   I need love, wanna cuddle up to somethin'   And make me feel like I'm somethin'   Gettin' sick and tired of frontin'      I need love for the first time in my life   I need love, ain't no love up in the club   I need love, I wanna cuddle up to somethin'   And make me feel like I'm somethin'   Gettin' sick and tired of frontin', I need      Slow dance, hold hands, all I want is romance   If it's real let me know it's real, baby, take a chance   'Cause I?ve been lookin? for a man who could understand me   And I got a lot of love to give, baby, don't you hear me?      Slow dance, hold hands, all I want is romance   If it's real let me know it's real, baby, take a chance   'Cause I?ve been lookin? for a man who could understand me   And I got a lot of love to give, baby, don't you hear me?      Love for the first time in my life   I need love   I need love, wanna cuddle up to somethin'   And make me feel like I'm somethin'   Gettin' sick and tired of frontin'      I need love for the first time in my life   I need love, ain't no love up in the club   I need love, I wanna cuddle up to somethin'   And make me feel like I'm somethin'   Gettin' sick and tired of frontin'      I need love for the first time in my life   I need love, ain't no love up in the club   I need love, I wanna cuddle up to somethin'   And make me feel like I'm somethin'   Gettin' sick and tired of frontin'      Slow dance, hold hands, all I want is romance   If it's real let me know it's real, baby, take a chance   'Cause I?ve been lookin? for a man who could understand me   And I got a lot of love to give, baby, don't you hear me?
