What You Need by The Weeknd

Artist: The Weeknd

Length: 3:26

What You Need lyrics

I just want to take you there
He don't gotta know where
Does he touch you here like this, this, this, this?
Let me take the friction from your lips (Ooh, woah)
And I'ma love you girl
The way you need
Ain't no one gon' stop us
Ain't no one gon' stop us
And I'm gon' give you girl
What you fiend
I'm the drug in your veins
Just fight through the pain
He's what you want, he's what you want
He's what you want, he's what you want
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need
He's what you want, he's what you want
He's what you want, he's what you want
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need
I got everything you want with me
I do everything he does times three
And he don't gotta know
I got you on the floor
Doin' things you never thought you'd do
Baby, leave them high heel shoes
'Cause I love it when you're looking down at me
I'm looking up at you
And I don't give a damn shorty
Watch me knock your boots off
And I'ma love you girl
The way you need
Ain't no one gon' stop us
Ain't no one gon' stop us
And I'm gon' give you girl
What you fiend
I'm the drug in your veins
Just fight through the pain
He's what you want, he's what you want
He's what you want, he's what you want
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need
He's what you want, he's what you want
He's what you want, he's what you want
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need
Woah
Woah, woah, woah
Woah-oh-oh, oh-woah, ah-ah
