Lyrics

If you can't love yourself
How in the hell you gon' love somebody else?
Can I get an amen in here?
You gotta, you gotta ask me
Yeah, I'm going to the party
But I'm not going to make friends
I need a lover

Everybody's looking for somebody
For somebody to take home
I'm not the exception, I'm a blessing of a body to love on

If you want it bad tonight (ooh, ooh)
Come by me and drop a line (ooh, ooh-ooh)
Put your aura into mine (ooh, ooh-ooh)
Don't be scared if you like it

I could fill you up with life (ooh, ooh)
I could ease your appetite (ooh, ooh-ooh)
Know you've never been this high (ooh, ooh-ooh)
Don't be scared if you like it

'Cause I'm not here to make friends
No, I'm not here to make friends, yeah
'Cause I'm not here to make friends
I need a lover (I need a lover)
I need a lover (I need a lover)

I'm just being honest, baby
I just need a partner when the lights come on
(The lights come on) yeah, yeah
30 almost got me, and I'm so over love songs, yeah

So if you want it bad tonight (ooh, ooh)
Come by me and drop a line (ooh, ooh-ooh)
Know you've never been this high (ooh, ooh-ooh)
Don't be scared if you like it

'Cause I'm not here to make friends
No, I'm not here to make friends, yeah
'Cause I'm not here to make friends
I need a lover (I need a lover)
I need a lover (I need a lover)

I need a la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I need a la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I need a la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I need a lover (I need a lover)
I need a lover (I need a lover)

Everybody's looking for somebody
For somebody to take home
I'm not the exception, I'm a blessing of a body to love on

'Cause I'm not here to make friends
No, I'm not here to make friends
'Cause I'm not here to make friends
I need a lover (I need a lover)
I need a lover (I need a lover)

I need a la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I need a la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I need a la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I need a lover
I need a lover

I need a la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I need a la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I need a la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I need a lover (I need a lover)
I need a lover (I need a lover)
