When I met you 2 and a half years ago
You was down on your luck while I was rolling in doe
So you can say I look at love as an investment
I got my half but tell me where the rest went

I never cheated on you even though I coulda
And if you was anyone else I probably woulda
Nevertheless though you got the best of me
By loving the next man the way you used to love me

But I thank you for the good and the bad
I guess I had to pay for all my dirt in the past
I've been sad but you know I gotta be strong
Get my **** out the dirt and just move on

And now you call me, telling me you need me
And that you realize that you were being greedy
'Cause more importantly money fame or fashion
You traded true love for one night of p***ion, p***ion

I need you, you're what I want
I need you, you're what I want

I used sit at night and contemplate what went wrong
I reminisced of making love in the back of my bathroom
Gone from the moment, I removed my shirt
Surround sound in my Chevy bumpin' Gerald Levert

You just looked up and told me take my time
No need to rush 'cause you ***ured me the kitty was mine
Everything was fine then one day you flipped
We wrote the whole script, packed your bags and dipped

You see the more it tried to keep it real, the more it was fake
And the more I tried to fix it girl, the more it would break
I kept trying till there was nothing left to do
But let it go 'cause there was nothing else to hold on to

But I'd really like to thank you for the rise and fall
'Cause all and all, I've had a ball
I guess it's better to have loved than to have lost
Then to never had loved at all on the real

I need you, you're what I want
I need you, you're what I want
It's too late, why tell me now that you want to come home
It's too late, why tell me now that you want to come home

Now I would see guys on talk shows and call them fools
When they stayed with they girls after they been used
Back then that was something that I could not see
Until the game changed and it happened to me

'Cause forget you is something that I just cant do
See I've been meeting other girls but they just ain't you
All my friends wonder why I still call you boo
When I know that you a liar and your love ain't true

But you baby girl there's just something about
And though I hate to see that other ***** mutting you out
Its not a situation I can come bo guard
So I just keep you in my prayers when I talk to god, uh

I need you, you're what I want
I need you, you're what I want
I need you, you're what I want
I need you, you're what I want
