[Intro: Diddy]
Yeah, come on
I need a
I want a

[Chorus: Usher]
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride
I need a girl to make my wife
I need a girl who's mine, all mine
I need a girl in my life

[Verse 1: Diddy & Usher]
Yo, I'm internationally known on the microphone (Oh)
I got it all, but I really need a wife at home (Oh)
I don't really like the zone, never spend the night alone (Oh)
I got a few you would like to bone but (Oh)
Chicks that romance me don't tickle my fancy (Oh)
Only Tiffany, Nancy, that's not where my plans be (Ah)
Need a girl that could stand me, raise me a family (Oh-oh)
Go from trips to Delancey to trips to the Grammy's 'cause
Most of these girls be confusin' me
I don't know if they really love me or they usin' me (Usin' me, yeah)
Maybe it's the money or maybe you ain't used to me?
'Cause you was depressed and now you abusin' me
That's why I need me a girl that be true to me
Know 'bout the game and know how it do to me
Without a girl on my side, shit'll ruin me
Forget the world, girl, it's you and me
Now let's ride

[Chorus: Usher]
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride (Ride with me)
I need a girl to make my wife
(I need a girl who makes me feel so good inside)
I need a girl who's mine, all mine
I need a girl in my life (Woah, ride)
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride (Right here with me)
I need a girl to be my wife
(I need a girl who makes me feel so good inside)
Nobody else, she's all mine
I need a girl in my life

[Verse 2: Loon, Usher, Both]
Yo, now I done met a lot of women in my lifetime (Oh)
But see it's not a lot of women that got the right mind (Oh-woah)
I done had pretty chicks with all the right features
And hood rat chicks that only rock sneakers (Oh)
Cellphones and beepers and know how to treat ya (Oh, oh)
You break her heart, she'll walk out and leave ya (Oh, oh)
I find a girl, I'ma keep her
'Cause now I'm gettin' money and the game gettin' deeper
Yo, on some real shit, I need somebody I could chill with (Let's chill)
I need somebody I could build with
I need somebody I could hold tight
Winter time in a full-length Snow White
Anytime we together feel so right
You the girl I been lookin' for my whole life
God, bless me, I'm glad I got the insight
Because of you, girl, now I understand life
I need a girl (I need a girl)

[Chorus: Usher]
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride (Ride with me)
I need a girl to make my wife (My wife)
I need a girl who’s mine, all mine
I need a girl in my life (My life)
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride (Oh, ride)
I need a girl to be my wife (My wife)
Nobody else, she’s all mine (Yeah)
I need a girl in my life

[Verse 3: Diddy, Usher, Both]
I had a girl that would've died for me
Didn't 'preciate her so I made her cry for me
Every night she had tears in her eyes for me
Caught a case, shorty took the whole ride for me
At first we were friends then became lovers (Oh)
You was more than my girl, we was like brothers (Oh)
All night we would play fight under covers
Now you gone, can't love you like I really wanna
But every time I think about your pretty smile (Oh)
And how we used to drive the whole city wild (Oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
Damn, I wish you would've had my child (Come on)
A pretty little girl with Diddy's style
Shit is wild
All them days that I reminisce (Uh huh)
About the way I use to kiss them pretty lips (Come on)
But as long as you happy, I'ma tell you this
I love you, girl, and you're the one that I will always miss
I love you, yeah (I need a girl)

[Chorus: Usher]
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride
I need a girl to make my wife
I need a girl who's mine, all mine (Mine, all mine)
I need a girl in my life
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride
I need a girl to be my wife
Nobody else, she's all mine (All mine)
I need a girl in my life (Girl, you mean so much to me)
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride (Ride, ride)
I need a girl to make my wife
I need a girl who's mine, all mine (All mine)
I need a girl in my life (I just want you to be my baby)
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride
I need a girl to be my wife (I just need you to be my wife)
Nobody else, she's all mine (I just want you)
I need a girl in my life
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride (Ride, ride, ride)
I need a girl to make my wife (Girl, you make me feel so good inside)
I need a girl who's mine, all mine
I need a girl in my life
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride (Ride, ride, ride)
I need a girl to be my wife (Be my wife)
Nobody else, she's all mine (She's my life)
I need a girl in my life (Girl, you mean so much to me)
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride
I need a girl to make my wife (Girl, you make me feel so good inside)
I need a girl who's mine, all mine
I need a girl in my life
