MY RIDE OR DIE Female Version [INTRO - SPOKEN] (Truck engine idling. Soft harmonica.) I've been down a whole lotta roads... Loved harder than I probably should... And learned a few things along the way... I'm not looking for perfect. I'm just looking for that one man... The one that feels like home. [VERSE 1] I ain't lookin' for perfection Lord knows I've got my scars I just want a good-hearted man Who ain't afraid to give his heart The kind that reaches for my hand And pulls me closer just because Steals a kiss beneath the stoplight Like he can't get close enough The kind that gets me laughing Till the tears roll down my face Turns an ordinary Tuesday Into my favorite kind of day [PRE-CHORUS] He ain't gotta have a fortune Ain't gotta drive some fancy car I just want somebody who sees forever When he looks into my heart [CHORUS] I'm lookin' for my ride or die That hold-me-close, stay-all-night kind The one who loves bein' loved And ain't too proud to show it sometimes The kind that pulls me close on movie nights Makes an old couch feel like paradise No cheating, no games, no living a lie Yeah, I'm lookin' for my ride or die (Harmonica answers the last line.) [VERSE 2] I want the kind who loves affection Lets me lay against his chest The kind who knows when life gets heavy Love shouldn't feel like some damn test Maybe we get mad sometimes Maybe we both need a little space But before another night is over We find our way back face to face The kind who leaves me little notes Just to say I crossed his mind Who'll sit with me beneath the sunset And forget about the time [PRE-CHORUS 2] I want somebody who believes Real love still means something today Someone who doesn't disappear The minute storms get in our way [CHORUS] I'm lookin' for my ride or die That hold-me-close, stay-all-night kind The one who loves bein' loved And ain't too proud to show it sometimes The kind that pulls me close on movie nights Makes an old couch feel like paradise No cheating, no games, no living a lie Yeah, I'm lookin' for my ride or die [BRIDGE] (Music drops to acoustic guitar and piano.) He don't gotta be perfect He just better be real A man who understands I need to know how love still feels The kind that grabs my hand When this whole world gets rough And never leaves me wondering If I'm good enough I'll stand beside that man Through every low and every high But if I'm gonna be his forever He better be mine [FINAL CHORUS] I'm lookin' for my ride or die That forever means forever kind The one who still gets excited Every time I pull in the drive The kind who wants the little moments Front porch talks and midnight drives The kind who looks across the room And I can see it in his eyes Yeah, I'm lookin' for my ride or die And when I find him, Lord, I'll know why All those broken roads and broken hearts Led me right there to his side [OUTRO] (Harmonica begins softly.) Where are you... Yeah... I know you're out there somewhere... I've saved a seat for you... Right here beside me... No pretending... No games... Just me and you... Down these country roads... Maybe you're lookin' too... Baby, maybe you're lookin' too... (Harmonica and acoustic guitar fade.) And when you find me... Come ready to love me like I'm gonna love you.
