First Verse:

If you take too long to hit me back, I can't promise you how I'll react.
But all I can say is at least I'll wait for you.
Lately I've been on a roller coaster.
Tryna get a hold of my emotions.
But all that I know is I need you close.

Chorus:

Ima scream and shout for what I love.
Passionate but I don't give no fucks.
I admit that I'm a lil' messed up, but I can hide it when I'm all dressed up.
I'm obsessive and I love too hard.
Good at overthinking with my heart.
How you even think it got this far?
This far.
And I can be needy. Way too damn needy. I can be needy. Ooh, ooh)
Tell me how good it feels to be needed. (Ooh, ooh)
I can be needy, so hard to please me. (Ooh, ooh)
I know it feels so good to be needed.

Second Verse:

Sorry if I'm up and down a lot, yeah.
Sorry that I think I'm not enough.
Sorry if I say sorry way too much.
You can go ahead and call me selfish. (Selfish)
But after all this damage I can't help it. (Help it)
The one you can trust, 'cause I need your touch.

Chorus:

Ima scream and shout for what I love.
Passionate but I don't give no fucks.
I admit that I'm a lil' messed up, but I can hide it when I'm all dressed up.
I'm obsessive and I love too hard.
Good at overthinking with my heart.
How you even think it got this far?
This far.
And I can be needy. Way too damn needy. I can be needy. Ooh, ooh)
Tell me how good it feels to be needed. (Ooh, ooh)
I can be needy, so hard to please me. (Ooh, ooh)
I know it feels so good to be needed.
Mhmm. Hm... Oh, yeah.
