I Need It
Frank Ocean Lyrics

One winter morning I went for a drive
On a cold and melancholic day, I decided to go out for a ride.

I stopped somewhere between June & July
I found myself in a timeless and blissful moment, transcending the boundaries of time.

I love these warmer days
I cherish the moments of warmth and joy that life brings.

But maybe I can't see that
However, perhaps I am not fully appreciating these blessings.

The snow's still falling
Though it may seem like the cold and hardships haven't completely disappeared.

I only see the gift my heart just brought me
My focus is solely on the precious present that my loved one has given me.

(Merry Christmas babe) that's what she said
She expressed her love and holiday wishes, making the season even more special.

She didn't have to do much
Her actions were not extravagant or grandiose.

But she made me smile
Yet, her simple gestures brought genuine happiness to my heart.

December in Manhattan feels like South Beach now
The atmosphere of December in Manhattan feels as warm and vibrant as a beach in South Beach.

I love my baby, oh yes I do
I have a deep and profound love for my significant other.

It ain't about you givin' anything
The value of our relationship does not rely on material gifts you may offer.

As long as you're my everything
As long as you remain the center of my world and my greatest source of happiness.

'Cause lady what could you give to me
Because, my dear, what else could you possibly provide that is more valuable to me?

Better than what you've been givin' me?
What more could you offer that surpasses the love and care you have shown me?

Just keep talkin' in my ear, 'cause I need it
Continue to whisper sweet words in my ear, for they bring me comfort and solace.

And tell me you'll be right here
Assure me that you will always be by my side, no matter what.

If I need you
In moments when I require your presence or support.

Girl the greatest present you could give is the present
My dearest, the most precious gift you can offer is your presence and love in this moment.

(Oh) I need it
It is something that I deeply yearn for and crave.

It's just a regular morning
The day started just like any other ordinary morning.

I'm a regular guy
I consider myself an average individual without any extraordinary qualities.

Takin' the train to my 9 to 9
Commencing my usual routine, heading to work from nine in the morning till nine in the evening.

But something's different today
However, today feels distinct and special in some way.

I had an envelope sittin' right next to my breakfast
To my surprise, there was an envelope placed beside my breakfast meal.

And it's from my baby
To my delight, it was a gift from my beloved.

Not the bill collectors
Unlike anticipated bills or financial burdens, it wasn't related to debt collections.

(Happy Birthday baby) then it said
The message conveyed birthday wishes, injecting joy into the day.

I know we don't got much, but baby we got us
Acknowledging that we may not possess abundant material wealth, but we possess each other's love and companionship.

And after you get off, we gon' make sweet love
Exploring the promise of intimate moments together once your workday is over.

Now go and get that cake (Oh, yeah)
Now, go and procure a celebratory cake to heighten the festivity.

One day the whole world will hear me sing
Someday, my voice and music will reach a global audience and resonate with people worldwide.

Then I'ma run and buy you those things
At that time, I will enthusiastically purchase all the material possessions you deserve.

But right now, three months pay barely gets me a diamond, baby
However, in the present, my financial means are limited, and even three months' worth of earnings can hardly afford me a diamond for you, my love.

But one day I'ma buy you that ring (Oh)
Nonetheless, there will be a day when I will proudly purchase that engagement ring for you, dear.

Oh, oh nothing but everything you (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, you are everything to me, and I desire nothing else but your love and presence (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I don't need anything
I truly do not require any material possessions.

Long as you're my everything
As long as you remain the embodiment of everything I desire and need.

As long as you're my everything
As long as you hold the most significant place in my heart and life.

Oh, oh, oh, oh yeah, yeah
Oh, yes, indeed, you are the essence of my happiness and contentment. Yeah, yeah.
