  • I need you, you, you
    I need ya
    I need you, you, you
    I need ya (oh, oh, oh, ohh)
    Baby, I need you, you, you
    I need ya (oh)
    I need you, you, you
    I need ya (oh, oh, oh, ohh)
    Uh-uh, uh-uh

    Last night was a blur, but all I remember is (uh)
    Black shirt, bare carats on my wrist (no-no)
    Me and a couple men rollin' up in a whip
    Met a pretty young lady, should I say-
    Will I ever see you again
    Always lookin' for another man's riches
    Why do you do this to us men? (Uh)
    And that's why we call them-
    See I don't understand, she wasn't with a man (nah)
    How could I leave without a number in my hand? (Uh)
    I went to go on Facebook, will I get a face back?
    Trying to find you is like a needle in a haystack (oh)

    I came so close, you touched my body (oh, oh)
    You left me standing like a statue
    Baby, I need you

    I was missing yesterday
    I'm- I never took your number
    Now you're nowhere to be found
    I'm going mad, I need you (oh, oh, oh, ohh)
    I been searchin' all over Facebook
    And I can't seem to find you
    I really have to find you

    Baby, I need you, you, you
    I need ya (nah-nah, nah-nah, nah, nah)
    I need you, you, you
    I need ya
    Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

    Last night I met a fella
    He made me feel so, oh, oh, oh
    That can mean what you want it to mean
    Popped to the ladies for a sec
    (Uh, I'll be back in five, yeah?)
    But when I came back out he left
    (I felt so alone)
    He left me standing in my LBD
    And my bang bang shoes
    I was so confused (yeah)

    I came so close (close), you touched my body (body)
    You left me standing like a statue (oh)
    Baby, I need you

    I was missing yesterday
    I'm- I never took your number
    Now you're nowhere to be found
    I'm going mad, I need you (oh, oh, oh, ohh)
    I been searchin' all over Facebook
    And I can't seem to find you
    I really have to find you
    Baby, I need you

    See now I gotta find someone like you (oh)
    You ain't gonna find no one like me (oh)
    Someone tell me what the hell I should do (oh)
    (Oh, oh, oh, ohh)
    Will I ever find someone just like you? (Oh)
    (I don't think so)
    Not quite like me (oh)
    Girl, you're one in a million (oh)
    I'm one in a million (yo)

    What do I do? I need to find you, girl (oh)
    'Cause you could be the one to make a change in my world (oh)
    Maybe one day I'll put a ring around your finger (oh)
    You should try bein' with a singer (uh-uh, uh-uh)
    And do you know the meaning of a stark in jail?
    Until we meet again, my heart's on bail (straight)
    Wherever you are right now (what?)
    I just wanna let you know that (oh, oh, oh, ohh)
    You're my love

    I was missing yesterday
    I'm- I never took your number
    Now you're nowhere to be found
    I'm going mad, I need you (oh, oh, oh, ohh)
    I been searchin' all over Facebook
    And I can't seem to find you
    I really have to find you (ohh)
    Baby, I need you (ohh)

    See now I gotta find someone like you (oh)
    You ain't gonna find no one like me (oh)
    Someone tell me what the hell I should do (oh)
    (Oh, oh, oh, ohh)
    Will I ever find someone just like you? (Oh)
    (I don't think so)
    Not quite like me (oh)
    Girl, you're one in a million (oh, yeah)

    I need you, you, you
    I need ya (oh)
    (Nah-nah, nah-nah, nah, nah)
    I need you, you, you
    I need ya (oh, oh, oh, ohh)
    Baby, I need you, you, you
    I need ya (ohh)
    I need you, you, you
    I need ya (ohh)

    Baby, I need you
    Baby, I need you
    Baby, I need you
