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

Last night was a blur, but all I remember is
Black shirt, bare carats on my wrist
Me and a couple men rollin' up in a whip
Met a pretty young lady, should I say bitch
Will I ever see you again
Always thinkin' for another man's riches
Why do you do this to us men
And that's why we call them bitches
See I don't understand, she wasn't with a man
How could I leave without a number in my hand
I went to go on Facebook, will I get a face back
Trying to find you is like a needle in a haystack

I came so close, you touched my body
You left me standing like a statue, baby I need you

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

I need ya
I need 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

I came so close, you touched my body
You left me standing like a statue, baby I need you

I was missing yesterday
I'm pissed I never took your number
Now you're nowhere to be found
I'm going mad, I need you
I've 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
You ain't gonna find no one like me
Someone tell me what the hell I should do

Will I ever find someone just like you (I don't think so)
Not quite like me
Girl, you're one in a million (I'm one in a million)

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

You're my love
I was missing yesterday
I'm pissed I never took your number
Now you're nowhere to be found
I'm going mad, I need you
I've 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
You ain't gonna find no one like me
Someone tell me what the hell I should do

Will I ever find someone just like you (I don't think so)
Not quite like me
Girl, you're one in a million

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