Verse 1) It ain't about the money in the bank It ain't about the fancy things we made It's the distance in a crowded room,baby The unspoken words we're both afraid to say I need a touch that ain't just for the night I need your eyes to see me in the light Not just the woman,but the heart inside The girl that needs a safe place to confide... Yeah... (Chorus) So I'm calling out...from this empty space I need your love...I need your grace Not just a habit,but a sweet embrace I need to be...your everything I'm not too strong to need that sting... Of a real love...a true thing... Do you hear me?.. (Verse 2) Remember when you'd fight for me? A stand-up man for all the world to see Not with your fists,but with your loyalty A wall of strength standing next to me... Somewhere we got comfortable and slow And I just need you,baby, to let me know... That I'm still the one you'd choose... The one you'd never wanna lose... (Chorus) So I'm calling out...from this silent place! I need your love...I need your grace! Not just a habit,but a sweet embrace! I need to be...your everything! I'm not too strong to need that sting... Of a real love...a true thing... Do you hear me??.. (Verse 3) Your love is deep in this. I know I need your touch to enhance my glow. My heart is yours.My love is profound i need you to hold me not just to hold me down (Chorus) So I'm calling out...from this silent place! I need your love...I need your grace! Not just a habit,but a sweet embrace! I need to be...your everything! I'm not too strong to need that sting... Of a real love...a true thing... Do you hear me??.. *(Bridge - The Shift. Music swells. Drums kick in with a solid backbeat. Vocals become stronger, declarative.) (Spoken Ad-lib: Wait... let me tell you something...) And I see you... Working late to build a life that's true... Your hands are rough,your will is too... You're quiet,but your promise shines right through... You're aman's man... in the best way... You provide,protect, and you stay... No games,no flash, just solid ground I'm standin' on... The rock I've built my fragile world upon... And Iappreciate you... (Oh, I do...) (Outro - Powerful, gospel-tinged climax. Vocals soar with runs and ad-libs.) So this ain't a complaint...it's a praise! For all your strong and steady ways! You are the sun that breaks my cloudy days! MY MAN!(My man!) You are the strength...in your love! (My rock!My shield! My gift from God above!) I LOVE YOU!I NEED YOU! I APPRECIATE...THIS LOVE! Yeah... yeah... yeah... (Music fades on a sustained, soulful note and a final, echoing piano chord.)
