Tamia Lyrics

Don't mean that much to me
Cause I've heard just about everything
That a man could ever say
To me to make me stay, before
Now I need more
So don't bring me roses, bring me the truth
Material things I can buy myself if I really want to
I need something special, I need something new
Just give me you
Spare me the parts (spare me the parts)
When you shower me with gifts
Don't send me cards, no box of chocolates
And don't promise me the world
I'm not that type of girl that needs that to feel complete
So don't bring me roses, bring me the truth
And don't buy me diamonds cause that just won't do
Material things I can buy myself if I really want to
I need something special, I need something new
Just give me you
Just give me you
Things of this world don't mean that much to me
I need your heart and I need honesty
If all you've got is flashiness then please turn around and leave
Don't bring me roses, bring me the truth
Don't buy me diamonds cause that just won't do
Material things I can buy myself if I really want to
I need something special, I need something new
Don't bring me roses, bring me the truth
Don't buy me diamonds cause that just won't do
Material things I can buy myself if I really want to
I need something special, I need something new
Just give me you
Just give me you baby
All I need is you
Give me you
Sexy words don't mean that much to me
Give me you, give me you
