Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
You say you want a better life, I know
You’re tired of all these party nights with nothing left to show
When everybody is living life with someone they can’t hold
It must be hard to sleep at night, believe me girl, I know

[Chorus]
I wanna be the lover that you need
I wanna be the shore to your sea
You’ll always have a home here with me
I wanna be, I wanna
I wanna be, yeah, I wanna be, yeah
I wanna, I wanna be, yeah

[Verse 2]
You say you got a louder laugh to share
But every time you let it out, nobody is there
To see how beautiful you are, baby, I’m aware
I’m in it to spend every night showing you I care

[Chorus]
I wanna be the lover that you need
I wanna be the shore to your sea
You’ll always have a home here with me
I wanna be, I wanna
I wanna be, yeah, I wanna be, yeah
I wanna, I wanna be, yeah

[Bridge]
What do you say
Can I get a chance with you? (Can I get a chance with you?)
I know your type to fall in love that don’t follow through (That don’t follow through)
All immediately as I fall is just a chance (Is just a chance)
What do you say? Can’t stop holding your hand

[Chorus]
I wanna be the lover that you need
I wanna be the shore to your sea
You’ll always have a home here with me
I wanna be, I wanna
I wanna be, yeah

Another demo with Nasri was leaked on LEAKTHIS.[5]
