[Intro] But they don't dig the urgency That this is an emergency So make it heard, deliver the word [Verse 1] I grew up with a family that never showed affection Always did some crazy sh** just to catch attention Yeah i know the world ain't based on perfection But just being my brother and my mother i never got mention My dad beat up my mom, so she had left him Went back to my grandmas spot, the family was distended My grandma didn't love my mom, it pa**ed on like genetics At this rate yeah i got a little desperate My mom use to abuse me, cuss at me, i know she meant it She threw the finger at me too, and i kept it It don't matter all the rough times we been through I had stayed on my feet and i told her "I love you" [Hook] Could you love me? well... Could you love me and actually mean it? Can you show it to me without having to speak it? Do you want it just as much as i need it? Or am i gon have to see to believe it? [Verse 2] Yeah i've always been the type of guy that loves relationships The one that will be there for you and always show companionship The one you can't break a trust cause i do commit I been dreaming about my soulmate ever since i was a kid I think the feeling of getting love is the perfect gift But somehow to these chicks it be the hardest thing to give I just want to feel hugs, get kissed on the lips Be on someone else's mind, knowing that i was missed Could you love me like that? or could you love me like this? If i wasn't serious then i would never write this My first love was my first love but the b**h slipped And after her i never thought i'd fall in love again Thats ok.. i stayed strong and i moved on And am i wrong? for wanting love after being alone It don't matter all the rough times we been through I had stayed on my feet and i told her "I love you"
