Lyrics

[Verse 1]

All the back forth getting complicated

Running me around got me frustrated

No, that's why I've been laying low

If you wanna make it work, baby, gotta say it

Need a little more than participation

Oh, I could go be on my own

[Verse 2]

Sure I would kiss you, I'll lay with you

You broke, no, I can't fix you

I won't, no, won't diss you

But, babe, yeah, might miss you

If you're cold and needed shelter

I'd hold you but not sweat you

I know we're not together

But, babe, I won't forget you

[Verse 3]

What I need, what I need, what I need

Is for you to be sure, no, no, no

For you to be sure, no, no, no

For you to be sure, no, no, no

What I need, what I need, what I need

Is to tell me that it's yours, no, no, no

And who you do it for, no, no, no

Need you to be sure, no, no, no

No, no

[Verse 4]

Need you to be sure

Need you to be sure

[Verse 5]

When we're all alone, girl, you wanna own it

If only with your fam, you don't wanna show it

Oh, you're tried keep us on the low

I only want a girl who ain't afraid to love me

Not a metaphor but we really could be

Oh, I ain't puttin' on a show

[Verse 6]

Sure I would kiss you, I'll lay with you

You broke, no, I can't fix you

I won't, no, won't diss you

But, babe, yeah, might miss you

If you're cold and needed shelter

I'd hold you but not sweat you

I know we're not together

But, babe, I won't forget you

[Verse 7]

What I need, what I need, what I need

Is for you to be sure, no, no, no

For you to be sure, no, no, no

For you to be sure, no, no, no

What I need, what I need, what I need

Is to tell me that it's yours, no, no, no

And who you do it for, no, no, no

Need you to be sure, no, no, no

No, no

[Verse 8]

Need you to be sure

Need you to be sure

[Verse 9]

Need you to be sure

Need you to be sure

[Verse 10]

We could be bigger and brighter than space

Ain't no running away

No, real loving is sure

The way that I love, there's no taking my place

Stare at you, right in your face

No, don't look away no more

[Verse 11]

I would kiss you, I lay with you

You broke, no, I can't fix you

I won't, no, won't diss you

But, babe, yeah, I might miss you

If you're cold and needed shelter

I'd hold you but not sweat you

I know we're not together

But, babe, I won't forget you

[Verse 12]

What I need, what I need, what I need

Is for you to be sure, no, no, no

For you to be sure, no, no, no

For you to be sure, no, no, no

[Verse 13]

What I need, what I need, what I need

Is to tell me that it's yours, no, no, no

And who you do it for, no, no, no

Need you to be sure, no, no, no

No, no

[Verse 14]

Need you to be sure

Need you to be sure

[Verse 15]

Need you to be sure

Need you to be sure
