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