Oh, uh uh
Uh
Oh, uh uh uh
1 time, eh
2 times, eh eh
3 times, what up Dream, eh eh eh

I promise that I won't be wasting your time.
I'm tryna give you everything that's mine.
You're my counterpart, and I'm tryna draw the line.
And if I'm wrong, then hell let me be blind.
Be my baby, be my girl.
Be my shorty, be my world.
Be my any and everything that I adore.
This future of ours;
Baby I'm really looking forward to,

Being all you need.
That's the man that I wanna be,
I can't be him without you with me.
Your love is all I need.
And baby I hope you feel the same way.
Don't let me waste the whole day.
You got me singin' like,
Ohh, ah [8x]

Love's knockin' on your door gotta open your blinds.
Baby, I'm tryna sell you this product of mine.
Pieces missin' out ya puzzle, match up with mine.
And everywhere I turn, I keep seeing signs like;
Ohh, ya'll look good together.
Like ohh, lookin' like sister and brother.
Like ohh, ya'll act just like each other,
Play it off like, man whatever.
And now I'm thinkin' bout,

Being all you need.
That's the man that I wanna be,
I can't be him without you with me.
Your love is all I need.
And baby I hope you feel the same way.
Don't let me waste the whole day.
You got me singin' like,
Ohh, ah [8x]

Baby ima stay the same even though weather change.
Baby I remember back when I first heard your name.
Yeah, my momma knew your momma and that's how we were friends.
And I swore to you that day that I'll be here til' the end.
You got my heart, you got my mind, you got my love.
Even when we weren't together it was you I thought of.
So when the blessing's in the air baby you got to recieve it.
All my cards are on the table, baby, tell me you need me, uh.

Being all you need.
That's the man that I wanna be,
I can't be him without you with me.
Your love is all I need.
And baby I hope you feel the same way.
Don't let me waste the whole day.




You got me singin' like,
Ohh, ah [8x]
