I’ve been around for quite some time
Patiently waitin’ for you to settle down
But my patience is startin’ to wear very thin
From stories of your women time and time again

So don’t take my love for granted
Or you might lose this good thing
I’m tryin’ to do the best I can for you
When you stop playin’ around you’ll really know it’s true, yeah

I’m the one you need, baby [Baby]
I’m the one you need, baby [Baby]
If you look inside your heart you really know it’s true
That I’m the one you need, baby [Baby]

‘Cause I care for you, I live for you

I’m not out to get your money
‘Cause I buy my own clothes and I pay my own rent
All I want is from you is love and affection
That’ll keep us movin’ in the right direction

So don’t take my love for granted
Or you might lose this good thing
I’m tryin’ to do the best I can for you
When you stop playin’ around you’ll really know it’s true, yeah

I’m the one you need, baby [Baby]
I’m the one you need, baby [Baby]
If you look inside your heart you really know it’s true
That I’m the one you need, baby [Baby]

‘Cause I care for you, I live for you
(I’m the one you need, baby)

Ooh, whoa, whoa, oh, oh
Ooh, whoa, whoa, oh
Ooh, whoa, whoa, oh, oh
Ooh, whoa, whoa, oh

Don’t take my love for granted
Or you might lose this good thing
I’m tryin’ to do the best I can for you
And when you stop playin’ around you’ll really know it’s true, yeah

I’m the one you need, baby [Baby]
I’m the one you need, baby [Baby]
If you look inside your heart you really know it’s true
That I’m the one you need, baby [Baby]

‘Cause I care for you, I live for you
(I’m the one you need) I’m [Baby], yeah
(I’m the one you need, baby) [Baby] Yeah
(I’m the one you need, baby) [Baby]
(I’m the one you need, baby) [Baby] I’m, I’m the one
(I’m the one you need, baby) [Baby]

‘Cause I care for you, I live for you
I’d die for you (Yeah)
Yeah

(I’m the one you need) Ooh, ooh [Baby], I’m
(I’m the one you need)
I’m the one
