Joyner Lucas - When I Need Love Lyrics

Uh, drinkin’ all night, I’m faded (Yeah)
Starin’ at pictures, anxious (Yeah)
Prayin’ one day, we go back to before we became some distant strangers (Yeah)
But now we on different pages (Uh)
I heard you just switched locations
Swear that I hope you just don’t hate me
Hit me back when you get this message

Hit me back when you get this message (Yeah)
It’s been too long
Pro’ly moved on, but I really got a million questions (whoa)
Promise I don’t got no ill intentions
Tell me what I gotta do to feel your presence (Yeah)
I miss your vibe
I know we lost time, but I’m hopin’ you ain’t disconnected
Maybe you can give me just a second
Thankful I can really even get this blessin’, mm

And I been tryna find a way to get inside of your thoughts
I wonder if you ever think about me at all
I know you like me better when I’m not as involved
But tryna keep myself together without droppin’ the ball
Funny how the world really gotta evolve
Unless you want a life with me, I don’t want it at all

I’m like let me explain (Let me explain)
But I must speak first
Lot of shit done really cut me, hurt
Couldn’t love me ’til I love me first
Had to learn that love means work (Work)
And my heart will deliver that
Hopin’ even though I lost you, I get it back
If it comin’ with a cost, could I live with that?
I’d get with that

Baby, we can talk?
Baby, you can come through now
Baby, we can do a little one-two now
Baby, you can let a nigga love you down
When I lost you, I lost your friendship too
So ready, I’ma trust you now
You all that I got, so if I’m without you
So tell me who am I supposed to run to now?
Huh

[Xscape & Tamika:]
Who can I run to (Who can I run to?)
To share this empty space? (Tell me)
Who can I run to
When I need love? (Oh, oh)
Who can I run to (Who can I run to?)
To fill this empty space with laughter?
Who can I run to
When I need love?

[Joyner Lucas:]
Look, where you been at now?
Tryna figure out where your head at now
Everything I did, I regret that now
They say true love you gon’ find just once
If you find its touch, don’t step back now
I told them other girls, they can sit back down
I love the way you look when you win that down
I mean that too ’cause you the one-of-one and I believe that’s you
I never met nobody that can be that cool
I know you see me lookin’, I can see that view
And everything I say, you can believe that’s true
I never knew that when I fucked up I would be that fool
I coulda be that crew, should be eatin’ that meat
I wanna eat at you
And if you put your legs open, I’ma eat that too

I’m like let me explain (Let me explain)
But I must speak first
Lot of shit done really cut me, hurt
Couldn’t love me ’til I love me first
Had to learn that love means work
Had to learn that the hard way
Tired of runnin’ every time we have a hard day
Had to learn that I was lovin’ you the hard way
Can you call me? Or could you unblock me?
Or maybe you could come through now
Maybe we can do a little one-two now
Baby, you can let a nigga love you down (Yeah)
When I lost you, I lost your friendship too
So ready, I’ma trust you now
You all that I got, so if I’m without you
So tell me who am I supposed to run to now?
Huh
