Essential Need

I can hear you in my ear
Painting pictures in my head
Reminiscing on what's dead
Like what could I have said
What could I have said
Like what could I have said
What could I have said

I can hear you in my ear
Painting pictures in my head
Reminiscing on what's dead
Like what could I have said
Baby, stay don't go, wait, don't leave
Girl, I can't go on, my essential needs (girl, you are mine)
My essential needs, my essential needs (girl, you are mine)
My essential needs, [?] you here with me

You're my essential needs, girl, a little hard to see
That you're right for me and that you all I need
Sometimes I think about you and me
Reminiscing of we kissing
And you got a nigga wishing that we can go back
While back in time, back when I was yours
Back when you was mine
I can hear you in my ear and stand reminiscing like damn

I'm reminiscing over everything we had
I was there when you was mad, I was there when you was sad
Girl, we used to sit back and laugh about the things in the past
And you told me I was something that you never had
But it just didn't work, I didn't think we would fall apart
Girl, you still in my heart
Got you going through my mind painting pictures
In my head now I remember what you said (I love you)

I can hear you in my ear
Painting pictures in my head
Reminiscing on what's dead
Like what could I have said
Baby, stay don't go, wait, don't leave
Girl, I can't go on, my essential needs (girl, you are mine)
My essential needs, my essential needs (girl, you are mine)
My essential needs, [?] you here with me

Yeah, I know that I did you wrong
I can't help it, girl, it's just how I roll
Sorry, girl, let me make it up yet deep inside, yeah, you holding up
Reminiscing got me thinking back
And you know it's true that I want you back
And you want me, so what's up with that? What's up with that? Stop holding back

What I need is you
Tell me what I gotta do to get you back at the late night calls
Hear you say you got a man
I know it's been a minute when you run right back
When we fight and I'm grabbing
And I'm holding on you tight
In the middle of the night with the music down low
And you can't say no and it start right here Teflon in your ear reminiscing what we had
And I wanna bring it back and it's just like that

I can hear you in my ear
Painting pictures in my head
Reminiscing on what's dead
Like what could I have said
Baby, stay don't go, wait, don't leave
Girl, I can't go on, my essential needs (girl, you are mine)
My essential needs, my essential needs (girl, you are mine)
My essential needs, [?] you here with me

Flashbacks in my head
I remember everything, everything [?]
Girl, it's hurting my heart
And I can't stand it but I gotta let it be
I said I gotta let it be
I said I gotta let it be
I said I gotta let it be

I can hear you in my ear
Painting pictures in my head
Reminiscing on what's dead
Like what could I have said
Baby, stay don't go, wait, don't leave
Girl, I can't go on, my essential needs (girl, you are mine)
My essential needs, my essential needs (girl, you are mine)
My essential needs, [?] you here with me
