I Need a Girl
Bad Boy's Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want you now and forever
(Then why did you do it)
I'll miss you, now that you're gone
(I'm not a type of girl you mess around with)
I just called to say, I really love you
(You should have thought of that before)
And girl, I do regret every single word that I said

The night is so empty without you
And loneliness falling upon my mind
I'm trying to touch you in my dreams
My heart is crying, baby
Oh, how I need you
Oh, how I need you

I'm waiting every nighttime
(My nights have been so lonely since you've been gone)
I kiss you and hold you tight
(I dream about this feeling every night)
What I mean is girl, I really changed now
(I'd really love to believe you)
I swear to you, I do, girl, I'll never make you blue

The night is so empty without you
And loneliness falling upon my mind
I'm trying to touch you in my dreams
My heart is crying, baby
Oh, how I need you
Oh, how I need you

The night is so empty without you
And loneliness falling upon my mind
I'm trying to touch you in my dreams
My heart is crying, baby
Oh, how I need you
Oh, how I need you
Oh, how I need you

Oh, how I need you
Oh, how I need you
