I’m looking for a lover not a friend

Frankly, I thought she would be a one-hit wonder.

Somebody who can be there when I need someone to talk to

One summer of bliss, and that would be it.

I’m looking for someone who won’t pretend

I thought the Cassie album was just a vehicle for the songwriting and production of Ryan Leslie, an early and short phase of his presumably long career.

Somebody not afraid to say the way they feel about

Because, really, she was not that much of a singer, was she?

And I’m looking for someone who understands how I feel, someone who can keep it real

But then I heard this song, the first single off the Step Up 2 The Streets soundtrack.

and who knows the way, the way I like to have it my way

It was a song that didn’t play around.

And I’m looking for someone who takes me there, wants to share, shows he cares

It put me up against the wall, with that drum pattern, those four chords, and that angry little guitar.

Thinkin’ you’re the one that I’ve been waiting for

And then she started to sing.

Is it you? Is it you?

It was Cassie all right.

Maybe you’re the one I’ve been waiting for

That voice full of tenderness, vulnerability and fragility.

Could you be the one for me?

I found myself soaring high above the ground, on wings of rnb perfection.

Could you be the one I need?

And I knew this love was to last.
