My essential need, girl it ain't hard to see
that your right for me and your all I need
sometimes i think about you and me, reminiscing while we kissin'
and you gotta nigga wishing, that we can go back, way back in
time, back when i was yours back when you were mine, I can hear
you in my head and I'm steady reminiscing like damn (damn, damn)
[Verse 2]
I'm reminiscing over everything we had, I was there when you was mad, I was there when you was sad, girl
Just sit back and laugh at the things in the past, and you told me I was something that you never had
But it just didn't work, I ain't think we would fall apart
But 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)[Chorus]

Reminiscing got me thinking back, yeah you know it's true that I want you back
Yeah you want me too, so what's up with that (what's up with that)
Stop holdin' back[Verse 4]
What I need is you, tell me what I gotta do to get you back
After late night calls, then you say you got a man
I know it's been a minute when you runnin' right back, when we fight and I'm grabbin' on you and holdin' on you tight
In the middle of the night, with the music down low
When you can't say no, when it stops right here
Teflon in your ear, reminiscing on what we had
And I want to bring it back, and it's just like that[Chorus]
I can hear you in my ear, painting pictures in my head
Reminiscing on what's said, like what could I have said
Baby, stay don't go, wait don't leave
Can I paint the wall with your my essential need
Girl your my (my) my essential needs, my essential need
Girl your my (my) my essential need, I need you here with me[Hook]
Flashback through my head (head), I remember everything and everything you said, oohh oohh girl, it hurts my heart, and
I can't stand it, so I gotta let it be, so I gotta let it be,
I said I gotta let it be (x6)[Chorus]
I can hear you in my ear, painting pictures in my head
Reminiscing on what's said, like what could I have said
Baby, stay don't go, wait don't leave
Can I paint the wall with your my essential need
Girl your my (my) my essential needs, my essential need
Girl your my (my) my essential need, I need you here with meWhat I gotta do to get you back (What I gotta do, what I gotta do to get you back)
