If you need a fix
The lyrics to Blackstreet's "Fix" are about a man who is infatuated with a woman and wants to be with her constantly. He tells her that he'll always be there for her, to be her lover, to give her what she needs. He also tells her that she can call him if she needs a "fix," which can be interpreted in various ways - either she needs emotional support or physically intimate moments with him. The song is all about the man's undying love for her and his willingness to do anything to make her happy.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "If you need a fix" four times, emphasizing the idea that the woman is the only one the man wants and needs. The song is full of energy and catchy beats that are sure to get everyone dancing and clapping along.

I actually produced the music video for this song. (Paul Hunter directed the vid). Man, it was a fun (but difficult) shoot. We had so many good times marking tons of these old school videos. I can't believe I had that particular job- so grateful...
