Plan B, Raleigh Ritchie - I Need Love lyrics

For what felt like a thousand years
I've been away
My eyes have cried a thousand tears
Each and every day
Since I did that thing I did
What a huge mistake
Can't believe I killed a kid
Just to not lose face i'm looking at my life
Trying to work out where I went wrong
I wasted so much time
So much of my time was spent on
Trying to be someone i now know that I'm not
Things was so messed up back then
I now know that it's because

I need love in my life it's a lonely place
Nothing else can fill the space
I need love in my life
Lately I've been feeling down
Wish I had someone to count on

I know you got your problems girl i got mine
Can't we just forget them, girl?
Just for one night i can hold you close girl
Hold your body tight we can do it slow, girl
Make it feel so right
I'm looking in your eyes
Something I never saw before
Is staring back at me
Something that makes me want you more
And feel comfortable enough
To let down my guard make me feel it's safe
To open up my heart

I need love in my life it's a lonely place
Nothing else can fill the space
I need love in my life
Lately I've been feeling down
Wish I had someone to count on

Yo, I need someone that I can count on
I'm telling you this now, girl
Cause I'm about one
More day away from getting sprayed or shanked
When I'm on my jays
And it's all thanks to my past
Raise the glass, one drink, that's all I ask
Bill a spliff to puff pass
Commiserate the last
Five years or so, we've both felt so alone
We locked up in a cell
You just a girl on her own
Yo, it weren't right, the way we used to be
I know love's the way forward
Still it's new to me just like it is to you
But what you gonna do?
Yeah, it's as scary as hell
But what we gotta lose?
Ain't it time that we both
Made a go of tings? This is real, girl
Don't act like you don't know a ting or two
About brehs that only wanna screw
And that ain't no dig
I'm just trying to get through cause

I need love in my life it's a lonely place
Nothing else can fill the space
I need love in my life
Lately I've been feeling down
Wish I had someone to count on
I need love in my life it's a lonely place
Nothing else can fill the space
I need love in my life
Lately I've been feeling down
Wish I had someone to count on
I need love in my life it's a lonely place
Nothing else can fill the space
I need love in my life
Lately I've been feeling down
Wish I had someone to count on
