That’s What I Want Lyrics – Lil Nas X
That’s What I Want Lyrics
[Intro: Lil Nas X]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1: Lil Nas X]
Need a boy who can cuddle with me all night
Keep me warm, love me long, be my sunlight
Tell me lies, we can argue, we can fight
Yeah, we did it before, but we'll do it tonight
An afro, black boy with the gold teeth
With dark skin, looking at me like he know me
I wonder if he got the G or the B
Let me find out and see, coming over to me, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Lil Nas X]
These days, I'm way too lonely
I'm missing out, I know
These days, I'm way too alone
And I'm known for giving love away, but
[Chorus: Lil Nas X]
I want someone to love mе
I need someone who needs me
'Causе it don't feel right when it's late at night
And it's just me in my dreams
So I want someone to love
That's what I f**king want
[Verse 2: Lil Nas X]
Look, you know it's harder to find in these times
But I got nothing but love on my mind (My mind)
I need a baby with love in my prime
Need an adversary to my "down and marry"
Like, tell me "That's life" when I'm stressing at night
Be like, "You'll be okay" and, "Everything is alright, " uh
Let me in that thing, 'cause I'm not wanting anything
But your loving, your body, and a little bit of your brain
[Pre-Chorus: Lil Nas X]
These days, I'm way too lonely
I'm missing out, I know
These days, I'm way too alone
And I'm known for giving love away, but
[Chorus: Lil Nas X]
I want someone to love me
I need someone who needs me
'Cause it don't feel right when it's late at night
And it's just me in my dreams
So I want someone to love
That's what I f**king want
[Bridge: Lil Nas X]
I want someone to love me
I need someone who needs me
[Chorus: Lil Nas X]
'Cause it don't feel right when it's late at night
And it's just me in my dreams
So I want someone to love
That's what I f**king want
