Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah, let's go
This that bounce right here (come on, now)
Time to move on, time to be strong
Don't stop now, straight to the top now (let's go)
This what I need (someone that truly understands)
Yeah, uh (how to treat a man)
Come on, this is for you, baby (how to treat a man)
(This is what I need)

Girl, you made me believe again
If you happy, then be with him
Go 'head, mommy, breathe again
Go 'head, mommy, breathe again
Don't stop now, straight to the top now
Go 'head, mommy, make it hot now
I need me a love that's gon' make my heart stop now
And what I need is simple, five-foot-five with dimples
And potential wife credentials
Know about the life I'm into, life I've been through
And how I had a triflin' mental
So ride with me, G4, fly with me
Times get hard, cry with me, die with me
White beach sands, lie with me
My advice is forget the limelight
Let's make love while we listen to Frank White
So tight, now I understand life (this is what I need

What I need (yeah, take that, come on) (ooh, baby)
Is a pretty woman next to me (a pretty woman, yeah, baby)
To share the dreams that I believe (dream with me, believe in me) (come on)
Maybe we could start a family (start a family, baby)
Someone that truly understands how to treat a man (uh, come on, uh, yeah)
This is what I need (yo, yo)

What's the delay now? What should I say now? Come on ma
Been a whole day now, I wanna lay 'round
And sip colada, dipped in Prada
I'm smooth as Erik Estrada, dipped in dollars
We out in Vegas, Nevada, bubble bath in the champagne glass
'Bout the size of a campaign ad
You don't know how you look to me
But if love was a crime, you's a crook to me
'Cause mommy, I've done been around the world, seen a lot of places
Been around your girl, believe I read faces
I can tell she don't want me prevail
But I, learned my lesson watchin' Sean stressin'
So why listen to her and start guessin'?
Mommy, you ain't ready to ride, then start dressin'
I need a girl, receive my mom's blessin'
Confession, my love, no contestin'
I need affection (listen)
I need affection, let's go, Mario

Girl, what the hell is on your mind? (Talk to 'em, yeah)
I could be dumb but I'm not blind (come on)
There's somethin' leakin' in your mind (get your mind right)
Don't look too good for you and me (come on)
Always getting weak (come on)
That ain't what I need, baby

What I need is a pretty woman next to me (yeah) (oh, please, baby)
To share the dreams that I believe (I need a girl in my life)
Maybe we could start a family (start a family, baby)
Someone that truly understands how to treat a man (ayo,ayo)
This is what I need

Ayo, the sun don't shine forever
But as long as it's here then we might as well shine together
Never mind the weather, go somewhere and get our minds together
Build a love that'll last forever
So let's stop the pain, stop the rain
Put, stress to rest, girl, stop the games
Name the spot, mommy, I got the plane
Rode you rough, I got the Range
Ma, I got some things, known to put rocks in rings
Push a hundred foot yachts and things
Your man don't play, have you ever been to St. Tropez?
Or seen a brother play a mando-lay
Girl, I wanna just look in your eyes and watch the sunrise
No more lies, no more tears to cry
No more reasons for leavin', you, I believe in
Love you 'ti the day I stop breathin'(this is what I need)
I love you, girl, come on (yes, I do)

Is a pretty woman next to me (standin' next to me, girl)
To share the dreams that I believe (when I wake up in the morning)
Maybe we could start a family (I wanna see your pretty face, yeah)
Someone that truly understands how to treat a man (oh yeah, oh yeah)
This is what I need (Is that all you want?)
Is a pretty woman next to me (make a sacrifice)
To share the dreams that I believe (and maybe, maybe we)
Someone that truly understands how to treat a man

This is what I need, baby
Is a pretty woman next to me (standin' next to me, girl)
To share the dreams that I believe (when I wake up in the morning)
Maybe we could start a family (I wanna see your pretty face, baby)
Someone that truly understands (truly understands, baby)
How to treat a man (oh yeah, oh yeah)





This is what I need
Is a pretty woman next to me
