Chords for LL Cool J - I Need Love

When I'm alone in my room, sometimes I stare [Am] at the wall,
and in the back of my mind, I hear my [E] conscience call,
[C] telling me I need a girl who's as sweet [F#] as a dove.
For the first [F] time in my life, I see I need love.
There I was, giggling about [Em] the games
that I had played with many hearts,
and I'm not saying [Dm] no names.
[Em] Then the thought occurred, tear drops made [F] my eyes lurk,
as I said to myself, look what you've done to her.
I can feel it inside.
I can't explain how [Em] it feels.
All I know is that I never dished another [Dm] raw deal,
[Em] playing make-believe, pretending that [F] I'm true,
holding in my laugh as I say that I love you,
saying no more, kissing you on [Em] the ear,
whispering I love you, and I'll always [Dm] be here,
[Em] although I often reminisce.
I can't believe [F] that I found a desire for true love
floating around inside my soul, because my soul [Em] is cold.
One half of me deserves to be this way till [Dm] I'm old,
[Em] but the other half needs affection [F] and joy,
and the warmth that is created by a girl and a boy.
I need love.
Everybody, put a L in [Em] the air like this
and wave it real slow from side to side right [Dm] now.
Do you need love?
Do [C] you need it?
Say it with me.
I [F] need love.
_ _ [Em] Yeah, we gonna get busy, you know what I'm saying?
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [F] Romance, sheer delight, how [Em] sweet.
I gotta find me a girl to make my life [Dm] complete.
[Em] You can scratch my back, we'll get cozy [F] and huddle.
I'll lay down my jacket so you can walk over a puddle.
I'll give you a robe, pull out your chair before [Em] we eat.
Kiss you on the cheek and say, ooh, girl, you're [Dm] so sweet.
[Em] It's deja vu whenever I'm [F] with you.
I could go on forever telling you what I do,
but where you at, you're neither here nor [Em] there.
I swear I can't find you [Dm] anywhere.
[Em] Damn sure you ain't in my closet or under [F] my rug.
This love search is really making me barge in.
If you know who you are, why don't you make [Em] yourself seen?
Take a chance with my love, you'll find out what [Dm] I mean.
[Em] Fantasies can run, but they [F] can't hide,
and when I find you, I'ma pour all my love inside.
I need love.
_ [Em] Anybody wanna come up here with me? _
[Dm] Anybody wanna come up here with me?
Well, [C] sing the song then, sing it.
I [F] need love.
Yeah, come on up.
[Em] We're gonna get busy.
Check [Dm] it out.
_ _ _ [C] _ _
I [F] wanna kiss you, hold you, never soldier.
[Em] Just love you, suck on your neck,
caress you, [A#] and rub you, [Em] and cry, and moan,
and never [F] be alone if you're not standing next to me.
You're on the phone, can't you hear it in my voice?
I need love [Em] bad, I got money for love,
something I never [Dm] had.
I [Em] need the ruby red, lip-sweet face, and [F] awe.
I love you more than a man who stands before.
I watch the sun rise in your [Em] eyes.
We're so in love when we hug, we become [Dm] paralyzed.
[Em] Our bodies explode in ecstasy, [F] unreal.
You're soft as a pillow when I'm as hard as steel.
It's like a dreamland, I can't lie, I've never been [Em] there.
Maybe this is an experience that me and you [Dm] can share.
[Em] Clean and unsoiled, yeah, sweaty [F] and wet.
I swear to you, this is something I'll never forget.
I need love.
_ [Em] How many people need it?
How many people [Dm] really need it?
[C] Well, say it then, say it right now.
[F] I need love.
[Em] Yeah, I'm with it, just keep your hands clapping.
Keep those [Dm] L's in the air going real slow
from side to side as [C] we go like this. _ _
_ [F] Girl, listen [G] to me.
[Em] _ When I be sitting [Dm] in my room all alone,
[Em] staring at the wall, [F] fantasies, they go through my mind,
and I've come to realize that [Em] I need true [Dm] love.
And if [Em] you want to give it to me, girl, [G] make yourself [F] seen.
I'll be waiting.
I love you.
