I Need a Girl
P. Diddy feat. Usher Lyrics

Yeah, come on
Opening line

I need a, I want a
Intention of finding a girl to be with

I need a girl to ride, ride, ride
Looking for someone to have fun with

I need a girl to make my wife
Looking for someone to settle down with

I need a girl who's mine all mine
Wanting a committed and exclusive relationship

I need a girl in my life
Wanting a girl to share his life with

Yo, I'm internationally known on the microphone
Introduction of himself as a famous musician

I got it all, but I really need a wife at home
Despite having fame and wealth, he desires a committed partner

I don't really like the zone, never spend a night alone
Does not enjoy being alone and seeks companionship

I got a few you would like to bone
He has had previous relationships, some casual

But chicks that romance me don't tickle my fancy
Previous relationships have not fulfilled him emotionally

Bonin' Tiffany, Nancy, that's not what my plans be
Not interested in casual relationships

Need a girl that could stand me, raise me a family
Looking for a girl who shares the same values and desire for a family

Go from trips to Delancey to trips to the Grammys 'cause
From traveling to small local venues to big award shows with his significant other

Most of these girls be confusing me
Previous relationships have left him unsure of people's intentions

I don't know if they really love me or they using me
Uncertainty and insecurity in relationships

Maybe it's the money, or maybe you ain't used to me
Wondering if people are attracted to him for his wealth or fame

'Cause you were depressed and now you abusing me
Previous relationships have left him hurt and mistreated

That's why I need me a girl that be true to me
Seeking someone who is honest and loyal

Know 'bout the game, and know how it do to me
Looking for someone who understands his lifestyle and career

Without a girl on my side, shit'll ruin me
Feels like he needs a partner to thrive and succeed

Forget the world, girl, it's you and me
Focus on the relationship and commitment to each other

Now let's ride
Invitation to be together and have fun

I need a girl to make my wife (I need a girl that makes)
Desire to commit to a long-term relationship

Nobody else, she's all mine (yeah, yeah)
Looking for an exclusive relationship with someone he loves

Yo, yo, I done met a lot of women in my lifetime
Has met many women in his life

But see, it's not a lot of women that got the right mind
Difficulty finding someone with the same values and mindset

I done had pretty chicks with all the right features (come on)
Has had relationships with attractive women

And hood rat chicks that only rock sneakers
Has had relationships with women from different backgrounds

Cell phones and beepers, and know how to treat you
Looking for someone who treats him well

You break her heart, she'll walk out and leave you
Describes an independent woman who will not tolerate mistreatment

I find a girl, I'ma keep her
Determination to commit to a relationship

'Cause now I'm getting money and the game getting deeper
With success comes more attention and greater need for a partner

Yo, on some real shit, I need somebody I can chill with (let's chill)
Desire for someone to relax and spend time with

I need somebody I can build with
Desire for a partner to work towards long-term goals with

I need somebody I can hold tight
Desire for physical affection and closeness

Winter time in a full-length Snow White
Imagery and desire for romantic moments together

Anytime we together feels so right (so right)
Enjoyment of being together and in love

You the girl I been looking for my whole life
Declaration of love and finding his soulmate

God bless me, I'm glad I got the insight
Gratitude for finding true love

Because of you, girl, now I understand life
The significance of love and relationship in his life

I had a girl that would've died for me
Recalling a previous relationship where he was not fully committed

Didn't appreciate her so I made her cry for me
Realizing he did not treat a previous partner well

Every night she had tears in her eyes for me
Regretting past behavior and how it hurt someone he loved

Caught a case, shorty took the whole ride for me
Partner took the fall for him in a difficult situation

At first we were friends then became lovers
Description of a previous relationship

You was more than my girl, we was like brothers
Close and intimate bond with a past partner

All night we would play fight under covers
Recalling a playful and loving relationship

Now you gone, can't love you like I really want to (just gone, gone, gone, gone)
Feeling regretful about losing someone he loved

But every time I think about your pretty smile
Memories of good times with a past partner

And how we used to drive the whole city wild (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Memories of good times together in public

Damn, I wish you would've had my child
Regretting not having children with a past partner

A pretty little girl with Diddy's style, shit is wild
Imagining what their child could have been like

All them days that I reminisce
Reflecting on the past

About the way I used to kiss them pretty lips
Recalling intimate moments with a past partner

But as long as you happy, I'ma tell you this
Wishes the best for a past partner

I love you girl and you're the one that I will always miss
Still has feelings for a past partner, but acknowledges they cannot be together

I need a girl (I need a girl)
Repeating the desire for a partner

Girl, you mean so much to me
Expressing that a future partner would be valued and loved

Nobody else, she's all mine (yeah, yeah)
Looking for an exclusive relationship with someone he loves

I just want you to be my baby
Desire to care for and love a partner

Girl, I need you to be my lady
Desire for a committed relationship and to be together exclusively

I need a girl to be my wife (be my wife)
Desire to commit to a long-term relationship

I need a girl who's mine all mine (all mine)
Looking for an exclusive relationship with someone he loves

I need a girl to ride, ride, ride (ride, ride)
Desire to be with someone who is fun and adventurous

You make me feel so good, so good inside
Excitement and joy of being in love

I need a girl in my life (oh, oh)
Desire for a partner to share life with
