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 And I’ma 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, tell me how good it feels to be needed I can be needy, so hard to please me I know it feels so good to be needed Sorry if I'm up and down a lot (Yeah) Sorry that I think I'm not enough And 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) Or what you can trust, ’cause I need your touch I'ma 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, tell me how good it feels to be needed I can be needy, so hard to please me I know it feels so good to be needed
