Taio Cruz渀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you need girl, what you need
What you need girl, what you need
What you need girl...
(Listen) One chance left, to save us, free the most fortune favors
I'm focused on my vow, it's only you right here right now
I want to be with you nightly, don't take what I'm telling you lightly
Don't you worry about them other girls
They don't really mean a thing to me, no
I'm just trying to be what you deserve
I'm just trying to live a life so tell me
What you need girl, what you need
What you need girl, what you need
What you need girl, what you need
What you need girl...
We should be together; Edward & Bella
Be by your side, Bonnie and Clyde
I give you everything because of who you are
I'll put you in the spot-light, you're a superstar
I just wanna be with you nightly, don't take what I'm telling you lightly
Cause I like ya' and you like me so let's not play around
Don't you worry about them other girls
They don't really mean a thing to me, no
I'm just trying to be what you deserve
I'm just trying to live a life so tell me
What you need girl, what you need
What you need girl, what you need
What you need girl, what you need
What you need girl...
I'm just tryna tell you baby you're the only who's on me
We can do whatever that you need, call me homie
We can fly wherever you ain't never been before
We can go to the store buy anything that you want
Then we can take sprees, you know down to your knees
Shopping sprees all over the place, baby call me
And we can do it baby, just tell me
If you need it babe
[2x]
Don't you worry about them other girls
They don't really mean a thing to me, no
I'm just trying to be what you deserve
I'm just trying to live a life so tell me
What you need girl, what you need
What you need girl, what you need
What you need girl, what you need
What you need girl...

I remember when he was unknown. Like nobody knew what he looked like. I remember when his music was for the underground. Dark. Emotional. Drugs. Euphoria. 10 years later I wouldn’t have guessed this for him but I’m glad he’s successfully a star.
@bchild10
Me too he purposely wouldn’t be in his videos for longest
@CleanLogo
"Dark. Emotional. Drugs. Euphoria." and thats why hes famous.
@jaydevvadodaria6628
Yes, he said he never did interviews or wanted to show his face as he wanted to be known for his music and nothing else.
@d0wnward_sp1ral
I remember an old picture of him standing in a creepy looking hallway, leaning against the wall. That's one of my favorite photos of him so far.
@jhonnyhernandez7283

@JeanPierreBro
