Necessary Lyrics

[Intro]
Haha
I don’t know, haha
It’s just, it’s just something about you, y’know?
That makes me, makes me feel this way

[Verse 1]
You a gem, a diamond in the rough
Anytime, by my side, when this life be getting tough
And I can’t decide if I can play this game wit’cha
But all I know is that I never feel the same wit’cha
Lemme paint a picture of feelings that you ignite
Gimme several hours, and baby, we’ll do it right
Gripping on the sheets, that’s when they a freak
If I find out you got sides then I’ll throw you right to the streets, (Woah, yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
You ain’t really here to party
I’m getting the feeling you just want my body
I ain’t complaining ‘bout it
But you gon’ have to еntertain ‘fore we gеt started
You know I’m real fond of it
I’ll take you from the drapes down to the carpet
Now is you hopping on me?
The brain insane like a zombie
I’ll give it to you
[Hook]
Staring at me like you wanna sin
One more time, let’s go back in
Ain’t done till the light starts rollin’ in
No question necessary (I’ll give it to you)
All this free time, and one way to spend
Drop it to the floor, look back and spin
Hear your feelings loud and clear, straight from within
No question necessary, (I’ll give it to you)
Staring at me like you wanna sin
One more time, let’s go back in
Ain’t done till the light starts rollin’ in
No question necessary, (I’ll give it to you)
All this free time, and one way to spend
Drop it to the floor, look back and spin
Hear your feelings loud and clear, straight from within
No question necessary, (I’ll give it to you)

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I’ll give it to you, ain’t no question needed
Always chasing bread, yeah I want it kneaded
All them pics you sent me, never getting deleted (Nope)
Ain’t talking bout Randa when I say that she did that (Period)
Know I lead the pack, go ’head, throw it back (Yeah, yeah)
New tricks up your sleeve, you ain’t shown me that (Oh, ooh)
E-L-I-T-E, yeah that’s you and me
Get you what you want, go on swipe the Vi’ (Yeah, yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
You ain’t really here to party
I’m getting the feeling you just want my body
I ain’t complaining ‘bout it
But you gon’ have to entertain ‘fore we get started
You know I’m real fond of it
I’ll take you from the drapes down to the carpet
Now is you hopping on me?
The brain insane like a zombie
I’ll give it to you

[Hook]
Staring at me like you wanna sin
One more time, let’s go back in
Ain’t done till the light starts rollin’ in
No question necessary (I’ll give it to you)

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
