I Need a Girl
Diddy Lyrics

Yeah, come on
Introduction to the song

I need a, I want a
Expressing the desire for a particular type of girl

I need a girl to ride, ride, ride
Looking for someone to ride with, someone to share his life with

I need a girl to make my wife
Wants to marry someone

I need a girl who's mine all mine
Desires someone who belongs only to him

I need a girl in my life
Wants someone special to share his life with

Yo, I'm internationally known on the microphone
Famous rapper introducing himself

I got it all, but I really need a wife at home
Despite having everything, he needs someone special in his life

I don't really like the zone, never spend a night alone
Doesn't like being alone

I got a few you would like to bone
Has women interested in him, but that's not what he wants

But chicks that romance me don't tickle my fancy
Doesn't find women who just want to have a fling attractive

Bonin' Tiffany, Nancy, that's not what my plans be
Wouldn't want to be with women like Tiffany or Nancy

Need a girl that could stand me, raise me a family
Requires a girl who can be his emotional support and raise a family with him

Go from trips to Delancey to trips to the Grammys 'cause
Wants to have a girl who can accompany him on all types of trips

Most of these girls be confusing me
Women he meets confuse him, can't figure out if they genuinely love him or not

I don't know if they really love me or they using me
Feels like women are taking advantage of him

Maybe it's the money, or maybe you ain't used to me
Thinks that maybe money attracts people more than his genuine self

Because you was depressed and now you abusing me
Thinks that sometimes people use him as a rebound from their own depression

That's why I need me a girl that be true to me
Needs someone who is genuine and loyal to him

Know 'bout the game, and know how it do to me
Wants someone who understands him and the industry he's in

Without a girl on my side, shit'll ruin me
Feels like he needs someone special in his life to keep him grounded

Forget the world, girl, it's you and me Now let's ride
Wants to forget everything else and just enjoy life with someone special

I need a girl to make my wife (I need a girl that makes)
Wants someone who he can marry and spend the rest of his life with

Nobody else, she's all mine (me feel so good inside)
Wants someone who belongs only to him and makes him happy

Yo, yo, I done met a lot of women in my lifetime
Reflecting on past experiences with women

But see, it's not a lot of women that got the right mind
Realizes that not all women are the same, looking for someone special

I done had pretty chicks with all the right features (come on)
Had attractive women before, that's not all that matters

And hood rat chicks that only rock sneakers
Has also been with women who don't care about material objects

Cell phones and beepers, and know how to treat you
Likes women who know how to treat him right

You break her heart, she'll walk out and leave you
Wants someone who will leave him if he hurts her

I find a girl, I'ma keep her
When he finds someone special, he plans on holding on to her

Now I'm getting money and the game getting deeper
With his fame and wealth increasing, realizes that he needs someone special to share it with

Yo, on some real shit, I need somebody I can chill with (let's chill)
Looking for someone who he can relax and just be himself with

I need somebody I can build with
Wants someone who he can create something with

I need somebody I can hold tight
Wants someone who he can physically hold and be close with

Winter time in a full-length Snow White
Paints a picture of what he wants with his special someone in winter

Anytime we together feels so right (so right)
Whenever they're together, everything feels right

You the girl I been looking for my whole life
Believes he's found the one for him

God bless me, I'm glad I got the insight
Feels blessed to have found her

Because of you, girl, now I understand life
Feels like he has figured out what life is all about with her in it

I had a girl that would've died for me
Had someone who loved him so much that they would have died for him

Didn't appreciate her so I made her cry for me
Lost someone special because he didn't realize their worth

Every night she had tears in her eyes for me
Misses someone who loved him deeply

Caught a case, shorty took the whole ride for me
She was even willing to take a blame for him, showed her love and loyalty

At first we were friends then became lovers
Started off with a friendship that evolved into something more

All night we would play fight under covers
They used to have fun with each other, even playful fights

Now you gone, can't love you like I really want to (just gone, gone, gone, gone)
Feels like he's lost the love of his life

But every time I think about your pretty smile
Remembers how beautiful she was

And how we used to drive the whole city wild (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Remembers all the good times they had together

Damn, I wish you would've had my child
Regrets not having kids with her

A pretty little girl with Diddy's style, shit is wild
Thinks about what their child would have looked like

All them days that I reminisce
Reflecting on all the memories they shared

About the way I used to kiss them pretty lips
Thinking about the intimate moments they had

But as long as you happy, I'ma tell you this
Even though he's not with her anymore, he wants her to be happy

I love you girl and you're the one that I will always miss
Expresses his love for her and how much he misses her

I need a girl who's mine all mine (mine all mine)
Desires someone who belongs only to him

Nobody else, she's all mine
Wants someone who he doesn't have to share

I need a girl to be my wife
Wants to marry someone

I need a girl to ride, ride, ride (oh, ride)
Wants someone to ride with, share good times with

I need a girl to be my wife (girl, I need you to be my lady)
Desires someone to marry him and be his forever partner

Nobody else, she's all mine (I just need you to be my wife)
Wants someone special, who he can call his own

I need a girl in my life (I just want you in my life)
Wants to experience life with someone special

I need a girl to ride, ride, ride (ride, ride, ride)
Wants someone to enjoy life with, have fun with

I need a girl to make my wife (girl you make me feel)
Wants to marry someone who makes him feel complete

I need a girl who's mine all mine (so good, so good inside)
Desires someone who belongs only to him and makes him happy

I need a girl in my life (oh, oh)
Wants someone special in his life

I need a girl to be my wife (be my wife)
Desires someone to marry him

Nobody else, she's all mine (she's my life)
Wants someone to call his own and share his entire life with
