Yeah... This one right here, It's for somebody special. No games, no frontin'. Just real talk. (Verse 1) I never was the type to write a love letter, Too busy chasin' paper, thinkin' I could do better. But then you came through like a sample on a loop, Smooth, made a brother wanna settle down and cool. I used to hit the block, post up with the crew, Now I'm thinkin' 'bout your smile when I'm makin' moves. It ain't weak to admit that you got me open, Every word you say got my whole heart hopin'. Late night calls, talkin' 'bout our dreams, You the only one who knows what my silence means. I ain't tryna rush it, girl, I'm tryna get it right, Wanna be the one you call on a lonely night. (Chorus) I need love, the kind that don't fade, The kind that holds down when the chips ain't made. I need love, not a temporary thrill, A real one to ride with me up on the hill. I need love, patient and true, Somebody who believes in the things I do. I need love, and girl, I'm hopin' it's you, 'Cause my heart's been waitin' for a love this true. (Verse 2) Remember when we chilled at the park after dark? You was readin' my thoughts before I'd even start. I ain't gotta flex, ain't gotta pretend, You love me for the man, not the whip or the trends. I used to think forever was a word for the fools, Now I'm pickin' out rings, breakin' all my old rules. You held me down when the world went cold, A story of us, girl, that's worth more than gold. So when the beat drops and the night gets long, You're the melody underneath my song. Ain't no doubt, ain't no maybe, You're the realest love, and it drives me crazy. (Chorus) I need love, the kind that don't fade, The kind that holds down when the chips ain't made. I need love, not a temporary thrill, A real one to ride with me up on the hill. I need love, patient and true, Somebody who believes in the things I do. I need love, and girl, I'm hopin' it's you, 'Cause my heart's been waitin' for a love this true. (Bridge) They say real love's a rare thing, Like a perfect beat that makes the whole room sing. I ain't lettin' go, I'm holdin' on tight, You're the reason I'm wakin' up feelin' right. Through the ups and the downs, the smiles and the tears, I wanna build a life with you over the years. So take my hand, let's walk this road, Two hearts beatin' in a rhythm untold. (Chorus) I need love, the kind that don't fade, The kind that holds down when the chips ain't made. I need love, not a temporary thrill, A real one to ride with me up on the hill. I need love, patient and true, Somebody who believes in the things I do. I need love, and girl, I'm hopin' it's you, 'Cause my heart's been waitin' for a love this true. (Outro, spoken over fading beat) Yeah... That's real. No gimmicks, no games. Just you and me. Forever. Word.
