I Need Someone
Bad Habit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I show you all
I tell you everything
I let you know what Iґm waiting for, now baby
You run away
Itґs more than I can take
Iґm over myself and my own mistakes
Cause I need someone
Baby let me show you I can be the one
I donґt wanna wait and now my lifeґs begun
Love is never far away
Cause I need someone
And I need you

One of a kind
Canґt get you off my mind
All I see is still burning me, now baby
I realize
Itґs just a sacrifice
And I never told you just what I want
Cause I need someone...
I feel so alive and I need to survive
Iґll always remember




You make me feel so alive
Cause I need someone...

[Intro: Steve Lacy & Fousheé]
I wish I knew you wanted me
I wish I knew, I wish I knew you wanted me
I wish I knew, I wish I knew you wanted me

[Verse 1: Steve Lacy]
What you, ooh, uh, what you do?
Made a move, coulda made a move
If I knew I'd be with you
Is it too late to pursue?

[Chorus: Steve Lacy]
I bite my tongue, it's a bad habit
Kinda mad that I didn't take a stab at it
Thought you were too good for me, my dear
Never gave me time of day, my dear
It's okay, things happen for
Reasons that I think are sure, yeah

[Post-Chorus: Steve Lacy & Fousheé]
I wish I knew, I wish I knew you wanted me (I wish I knew)
I wish I knew (Oh), I wish I knew you wanted me
I wish I knew (Yeah), I wish I knew you wanted me (Oh)
I wish I knew, I wish I knew you wanted me

[Verse 2: Steve Lacy]
Please say to me (Please, just say to me)
If you still wanna
I wish you wouldn't play with me
I wanna know (Oh, no)

[Chorus: Steve Lacy]
Uh, can I bite your tongue like my bad habit?
Would you mind if I tried to make a pass at it?
No, you're not too good for me, my dear
Funny you come back to me, my dear
It's okay, things happen for
Reasons that I can't ignore, yeah

[Post-Chorus: Steve Lacy & Fousheé]
I wish I knew, I wish I knew you wanted me
I wish I knew (Wish I knew), I wish I knew you wanted me (Oh)

[Bridge: Steve Lacy]
You can't surprise a Gemini (I wish I knew)
I'm everywhere, I'm cross-eyed, and (I wish I knew you wanted me)
Now that you're back, I can't decide (I wish I knew)
If I decide if you're invited (I wish I knew you wanted me)
You always knew the way to wow me
Fuck around, get tongue-tied, and
I turn it on, I make it rowdy
Then carry on, but I'm not hidin'
You grabbin' me hard 'cause you know what you found
It's biscuits, it's gravy, babe

[Break: Steve Lacy]
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm

[Outro: Steve Lacy & Fousheé]
You can't surprise a Gemini
But you know it's biscuits, it's gravy, babe
I knew you'd come back around
'Cause you know it's biscuits, it's gravy, babe
Let's fuck in the back of the mall, lose control
Go stupid, go crazy, babe
I know I'll be in your heart 'til the end
You'll miss me, don't beg me, babe

Going from “I bite my tongue, it's a bad habit” to “can I bite your tongue like my bad habit?” was genius.
