HeatWave
Danny James Es-K & John Culbreth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was on the Southside, on a Summer night
Whippin' in a black Range, tell me what you 'cide
You know how I rolls up, maybe you gave up
Don't worry 'bout the next
Girl, I want you next

When I'm needin' you, just fall through and come
When I'm needin' you, just fall through and come

Girl I'm by myself, come around (ooh)
You keep me company 'til you're gone (oh, oh)
You just look like peace (look like peace)
You're sweet as you can be (can be)
Finally in my reach, you finally in my reach
Had to tell the clique, yeah
It's a Summer night (it's a Summer night)
I be down for anything (anything)
Tell me what you 'cide (decide)
I be on the go slow, I want you to roll
I won't leave you stressed, make you feel blessed

When I'm needin' you, just fall through and come (oh, oh)
When I'm needin' you, just fall through and come

You think that I'm with someone (oh)
I've always been 'bout you, you're the one
You have to fulfil my needs
Give you everything you need
Give you everything you need

When I'm needin' you just fall through and come (oh, oh)
When I'm needin' you just fall through and come





When I'm needin' you just fall through and come (oh, oh)
When I'm needin' you just fall through and come
