If It's Loving That You Want Lyrics
Rihanna
Lyrics
I want to let you know that you don't have to go
don't wonder no more what I think about you
Now if it's loving that you want
You should make me your girl, your girl
If it's loving that you need
Baby, come and share my world, share my world
If it's loving that you want
Then come and take a walk with me, walk with me
'Cause, everything that you need
I got it right here baby, baby
Now it's obvious you need a friend to come hold you down
Be that one you share your everything when no one's around
Baby, come tell me your secrets, and tell me all your dreams
'Cause I can see you need someone to trust, you can trust in me
So just call me whenever you're lonely
I'll be your friend, I can be your homey
If it's loving that you want
Then you should make me your girl, your girl
If it's loving that you need
Baby, come and share my world, share my world
If it's loving that you want
Then come and take a walk with me, walk with me
'Cause, everything that you need
I got it right here baby, baby
It's been so long I've had this feeling that we could be
Everything you've ever wanted baby, your fantasy
I won't push too hard or break your heart, 'cause my love's sincere
I'm not like any other girl, you know, so let me erase your fears
So just call me whenever you're lonely
I'll be your friend, I can be your homey
If it's loving that you want
Then you should make me your girl, your girl
If it's loving that you need
Baby, come and share my world, share my world
If it's loving that you want
Then come and take a walk with me, walk with me, baby
'Cause, everything that you need
I got it right here baby, baby
I want to let you know that you don't have to go
Don't wonder no more, what I think about you
I got what you need so come share my world oh
