Texas boy Cameron (born February 15, 1990) is a natural musician with natural talents, and hasn’t taken any classes to hone his skills. He’s an artist in his own right, and doesn’t care who is judging him as long as he’s being himself. “When I sing or when I perform, or when I do a funky dance, I’m not technical, I’m not trained, but you know, I’m not afraid to look like a fool every now and then,” he admits, before busting out the ‘Stanky Leg.’ He adds, “I consider myself a pretty big nerd, and that’s something that I embrace whether it’s my style or my songwriting.”
In addition to his talents, Cameron has certainly honed his hipster/nerd chic style, but it’s passion that almost guided him to the finish line when he competed against 11 others for a running role in ‘Glee’ Season 3. “I feel like my confidence is what gives me an edge, it’s my passion for the music,” Cameron says. “Living out loud to me is truly being yourself, just being who you are. What sets you apart when odds are against you is personality."
I Need Your Love
Cameron Mitchell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You really get to me,
You don't know what you're doing,
But you're doing something lately
Well, I see you in the corner,
With a drink in your hand
Well I know I like to see
I need your love,
I need your love,
Oh baby the look you gave me
You know it drive me crazy
No matter what you say
I need your love,
I need your love
You think you're smart,
Oh, but I got you figured out
You think you know a thing or two,
But I have my doubts
Well, I've seen you girls before,
And I know your card
Oh, hey pretty mama
Will you dance to the song?
And turn out all the lights?
I need your love,
I need your love,
Oh baby the look you gave me
You know it drive me crazy
No matter what you say
I need your love,
I need your love
Well I'm just a city boy,
And you're all of a country girl
So why can't we be together?
Oh something about you,
Gets you under my skin
One look at you,
And I'm in it again
So look in my eyes,
Turn down the lights
And whisper those words
One more time
I need your love,
I need your love,
Oh baby the look you gave me
You know it drive me crazy
No matter what you say
I need your love,
I need your love
Oh baby the look you gave me
You know it drive me crazy
No matter what you say
I need your love,
I need your love
Woah
Oh, it drive me crazy,
Oh, baby
I need your love,
I need your love
