If You Want Love remix by Average Joe [Av.J] Lyrics
[Pre-Hook: Elikem Uriah]
I just need some time I need to think straight
I just need a moment in my own space
Ask me how I'm doing I say, "Okay"
But ain't that what we all say
Sometimes I think back to the old days
In a pointless conversation with the old me
Back when my mama used to hold me
I wish somebody woulda told me
[Hook: Elikem Uriah]
If you want love
You gon' have to go through the pain
If you want love
You gon' have to learn how to change
If you want trust
You gon' have to give some away
If you want love
If you want love
[Verse: Average Joe}
These are things my mind always dey race about
Things it seems I never want to talk about
But honestly I wrote these rhymes with an unstable mind
But I need closure dawg precaution for this short time
I'm, haunted by mistakes I did a long time
Cus' honestly those things were dumb now that my eyes shine
Or so I think cus' life is funny in these dark times
It's like we're all putting on shades when it's night time
Take me for real
Most of the times I dey bottle up all of the pain that I feel
Oh wait for real, most of the people I've hurt is because of the fears that I feel
No wait for real, insecurities dey drown me for real
I'm in need of a pill
Damn, see me I'm losing myself
Damn, see me I'm selling myself
Forget 'bout the pills
Just get me a prayer and honestly I'll be fine for real and
I'm growing up for real now (yea)
Time that make some changes
Like these coins but only silent cus' that thing is golden
And take my cross till it's a plus, multiply my blessings
[Bridge: Elikem Uriah]
One day if my dreams pop out my mind I might
Stay up on the beach all night
Watch the waves in full moon light
Thinking how everything turned alright
Savor every little piece of joy for all the little tears I cried
One day when my home is filled with those I love
God's with us and not above
Down in each of all our hearts
I finally won't be scared to love
And I'll remember when they used to tell me
[Hook: Elikem Uriah]
If you want love
You gon' have to go through the pain
(You gon', you gon' have to go through the pain)
If you want love
You gon' have to learn how to change
(gotta learn how to change)
If you want trust
You gon' have to give some away
(yeaaaaa)
If you want love
If you want love
If you want love, you want love
[Outro: Elikem Uriah]
And as long as there's a God above
There would always be someone to trust
Someone's that's always there to give you love
If you want
If you want love
I just need some time I need to think straight
I just need a moment in my own space
Ask me how I'm doing I say, "Okay"
But ain't that what we all say
Sometimes I think back to the old days
In a pointless conversation with the old me
Back when my mama used to hold me
I wish somebody woulda told me
[Hook: Elikem Uriah]
If you want love
You gon' have to go through the pain
If you want love
You gon' have to learn how to change
If you want trust
You gon' have to give some away
If you want love
If you want love
