I Need a Girl
Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don’t need no girl, baby I want you
I don’t know why that’s an issue
Don’t you know that there’s a difference?
Baby I WANT you.
I don’t need no girl, baby I want you
I don’t know why that’s an issue
Don’t you know that there’s a difference?
Baby I WANT you.
I don’t need no girl, right now I want one
I’m about to roll up this fat one
And sit back in the Cadillac smoking on this backwood
We could listen to the raindrops splash on the window
I been splitting down a Dutchie; roll up this rillo
If i dick you down you might chip a tooth biting down on this pillow
And you ain’t the only one; imma keep this shit real
But hold up; anybody talking shit.. baby they jealous
Imma tell you again fuck the world it’s just us
You and me; no one else
You caught up; you top shelf
I got dick; I’m addicted to you
You the shit; it’s the truth
Leave the room; I miss you
That sound whack; but it’s facts
I’m on tap; you tap out
Don’t back out
You was lost; now you found
I have to let you know that
I don’t need no girl, baby I want you
I don’t know why that’s an issue
Don’t you know that there’s a difference?




Baby I WANT you.
Yeah I want you but you don’t want me so it sounds selfish for me to say that you shouldn’t go when we both know that it’s right for you to leave.
