Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I guess everybody needs somebody to love
You can't keep love lonely
'Cause bein' naive to it, you could just lose it like that
See, kisses for bruises don't make it heal back
It be the sex appeal that's from the next and not necessarily the sex and
One might appeal to the intellect havin' a greater effect on how they feelin'
Stimulatin', breakin' down their shields for the real and
As it stands mysteriously, curiosity, it kills the cat and
Offsets them mentally so they're trapped in
Behind these fantasies with no action, searchin' for a remedy
Now, she loves her man, but there is just a different type of chemistry
That flairs when her desire's on fire
Quick is the fuse, another love for hire
[Verse 2]
And she said, "It'll be good if you stayed with me tonight"
So I granted her wish
And she said, "It'll be good if you stayed with me tonight"
So I granted her wish
[Verse 3]
I was high like the vocal tone of my **** Bootie Brown
Decided to take a ride to see what's really goin' down
Upon the north side of town, of course I bought the quarter pound
Of bomb hemp, feelin' alright like Johnny Kemp
On a Friday night, lookin' right 'cause my shit is tight
Blazin' blunts, the city lights on Sunset and Crescent Heights
Bounce the House of Blues, then I slid in free
With tennis shoes, sweat shirt, jeans, and no ID
Soon as I step inside the plizzace, I recognize the fizzace
I ended up with an izzass more amazing than grace
So I waste no time to kick my line
I say, "How you doin?" She says, "Hey, I'm doin' fine"
So I commence to mackin' to baby to see what's crackin'
So maybe I get her back at the cabin and start attackin'
Threw back a shot of 'gnac and started jabberin'
Jibbin', fibbin', and ad libbin' just to get her to my crib then
We was chillin' on the bed, bumpin' some Isley
Thought I was about to spread the thighs, but she surprised me
When she said, "Oh, like that? You know I don't get down"
I know my homie's gonna clown 'cause I let her stick around when
[Verse 4]
When she said, "It'll be good if you stayed with me tonight"
So I granted her wish
[Verse 5]
Now Daddy's home
But she's been waitin' all night so we could be alone
This is a everyday thing, so we hang out by the phone
Tryin' to build something real, workin' fingertips to the bone
Too much love's gone astray that it won't be comin' home
No time soon
So I dance with the silhouettes beneath the moon
And she said, "If satisfaction's guaranteed
Nothing else could come between the flight of a new love, baby"
Yeah, maybe we could be cool
Instead of sharin' this here ship with the fools
You know that right now, right now, right now, right now, baby
Right now, right now, right now, baby
And she said, "I'll give you the world if you want it
Yeah, I'll give you the world if you need it, baby"
If you got to have it
[Verse 6]
And she said
You know that she said
And she said
And she said
And she said
And she said
And she said
I'll give you the world if you want it
I'll give you the world if you need it, baby
I'll give you the world if you want it, yeah
I'll give you the world if you need it
I'll give you the world
