Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, come on
I need a, I want a

I need a girl to ride, ride, ride
I need a girl to make my wife
I need a girl who's mine all mine
I need a girl in my life
Yo, I'm internationally known on the microphone
I got it all, but I really need a wife at home
I don't really like the zone, never spend a night alone
I got a few you would like to bone
But chicks that romance me don't tickle my fancy
Bonin' Tiffany, Nancy, that's not what my plans be
Need a girl that could stand me, raise me a family
Go from trips to Delancey to trips to the Grammys 'cause
Most of these girls be confusing me
I don't know if they really love me or they using me
Maybe it's the money, or maybe you ain't used to me
'Cause you was depressed and now you abusing me
That's why I need me a girl that be true to me
Know 'bout the game, and know how it do to me
Without a girl on my side, shit'll ruin me
Forget the world, girl, it's you and me
Now let's ride

I need a girl to ride, ride, ride (ride with me)
I need a girl to make my wife (I need a girl that makes)
I need a girl who's mine all mine (me feel so good inside)
I need a girl in my life (oh, ride)
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride (ride with me)
I need a girl to be my wife (I need a girl that makes)
Nobody else, she's all mine (me feel so good inside)
I need a girl in my life

Yo, yo, I done met a lot of women in my lifetime
But see, it's not a lot of women that got the right mind
I done had pretty chicks with all the right features (come on)
And hood rat chicks that only rock sneakers
Cell phones and beepers, and know how to treat you
You break her heart, she'll walk out and leave you
I find a girl, I'ma keep her
'Cause now I'm getting money and the game getting deeper
Yo, on some real shit, I need somebody I can chill with (let's chill)
I need somebody I can build with
I need somebody I can hold tight
Winter time in a full-length Snow White
Anytime we together feels so right (so right)
You the girl I been looking for my whole life
God bless me, I'm glad I got the insight
Because of you, girl, now I understand life
I need a girl (I need a girl)

I need a girl to ride, ride, ride (ride with me)
I need a girl to make my wife (my wife)
I need a girl who's mine all mine
I need a girl in my life (oh, ride)
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride (oh, ride)
I need a girl to be my wife (my wife, yeah)
Nobody else, she's all mine (yeah, yeah)
I need a girl in my life (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I had a girl that would've died for me
Didn't appreciate her so I made her cry for me
Every night she had tears in her eyes for me
Caught a case, shorty took the whole ride for me
At first we were friends then became lovers
You was more than my girl, we was like brothers
All night we would play fight under covers
Now you gone, can't love you like I really want to (just gone, gone, gone, gone)
But every time I think about your pretty smile
And how we used to drive the whole city wild (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Damn, I wish you would've had my child
A pretty little girl with Diddy's style, shit is wild
All them days that I reminisce
About the way I used to kiss them pretty lips
But as long as you happy, I'ma tell you this
I love you girl and you're the one that I will always miss
I love you, yeah (I need a girl)

I need a girl to ride, ride, ride
I need a girl to make my wife
I need a girl who's mine all mine (mine all mine)
I need a girl in my life
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride
I need a girl to be my wife
Nobody else, she's all mine
I need a girl in my life (girl, you mean so much to me)

I need a girl to ride, ride, ride (ride, ride)
I need a girl to Make my wife (need a girl)
I need a girl who's mine all mine (all mine)
I need a girl in my life
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride (I just want you to be my baby)
I need a girl to be my wife (girl, I need you to be my lady)
Nobody else, she's all mine (I just need you to be my wife)
I need a girl in my life (I just want you in my life)

I need a girl to ride, ride, ride (ride, ride, ride)
I need a girl to make my wife (girl you make me feel)
I need a girl who's mine all mine (so good, so good inside)
I need a girl in my life (oh, oh)
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride (ride, ride, ride)
I need a girl to be my wife (be my wife)
Nobody else, she's all mine (she's my life)
I need a girl in my life (girl, you mean so much to me)

Yo, I'm internationally known on the microphone
I got it all, but I really need a wife at home
I don't really like the zone
Never spend the night alone
I got a few, you would like to bone
But, chicks don't romance me, don't tickle my fancy
Only Tiffany, Nancy, that's not what my plans be
I need a girl that could stand me, raise me a family
Go to trips to Delancey, trip to the Grammy's cause
Most of these girls be confusing me
I don't know if they really love me or they using me
Here's the money, or maybe you ain't used to me
Cause you was depressed and now you abusing me
That's why I need a girl that be true to me
Know bout the game, and know how to do to me
Without a girl on my side, shit I ruin me
Forget the word, it's just you and me

Now let's ride.

I need a girl to ride, ride, ride
I need a girl to make my wife
I need a girl who's mine oh mine

I need a girl in my life

I need a girl to be my wife
Nobody else cuz she's all mine
I need a girl in my life

Yo, now I have had a lot of women in my lifetime
But see it's not a lot of women that got the right mind
I done had pretty chicks with all the right features
And hoodrat chicks that only rock sneakers
Cellphones and beepers, and know how to treat ya
You break her heart, she'll walk out and leave ya
I find a girl, I'mma keep her
'Cause now I'm getting money and the game getting deeper
I want some real shit, I need somebody I can chill with
I need somebody I can build with
I need somebody I can hold tight
With the time and no full limits, no right
Anytime we together would feel so right
You the girl I been looking for my whole life
God bless me, I'm glad I got the insight
It's cuz of you girl, now I understand life
I need a girl

I need a girl to ride, ride, ride

I had a girl that would've died for me
Didn't appreciate her so I made her cry for me
Every night she had tears in her eyes for me
Quarter K's, shorty took the whole ride for me
First we were friends then became lovers
You was more than my girl, we was like brothers
All night we would play fight under covers
Now you gone, can't love you like I really wanna
But every time I think about your pretty smile
And how we used to drive the whole city wild
Damn I wish you would've had my child
A pretty little girl wit Diddy's smile
This shit is wild
All dem days that I reminisce
About the way I use to kiss dem pretty lips
But as long as you happy, I'mma tell you this
I love you girl and you're the one that I will always miss
I love you, yeah
