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
