Miss Right
Anderson .Paak Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need the right one, with a bright imagination
Someone to talk to, somebody patient
I wanna cold piece
I wanna love sensation
I want the mind first
I'll make the body wait for it (wait for it)
You could be the right one
With a little dedication

Gotta make me follow through
Gotta make me chase it
Oh I wanna stone groove
I wanna love sensation
Someone to hold to
Someone to play with

Cause lately
My whole being
Just wants
What it needs
And I don't mind
(I need it
I just need, need, need)

I want the right one
Car keys and a cake dish
Gotta take that (pipe work)
Gotta make me taste it (taste it)
I mean amazing
You want my last name (say it)
Wanna have my baby (say it)
I'll take you all places
I want the world stage
Certified classic
Big planes
Lite package (work)
I gotta long reach (work, work)
You got that good conversation (work)
You such a cold piece
I wonder if your taken

Cause lately
My whole being
Just wants
What it needs
And I don't mind
(I need it

I just need, need, need)
Say it, say it (I just) I need (vamp)
