[Verse 1]
There comes a time in a man's life
Where he must take responsibility
For the choices he has made
And there are certain things that he must do
Things that he must say

[Chorus]
Like I love you
And I need you
I only want you
And nobody's going to know if it's true

[Verse 2]
I never thought I'd feel this kind of hesitation (To put)
My hand on another girl
I wish I didn't have to lie
I wish I could let you know

[Chorus]
'Cause I love you
And I need you
I only want you
And nobody's going to know if it's true

[Bridge]
Valerie (Oh, Valerie)
I know you can see through me
(I know you can see through my lies)
Valerie (Oh, Valerie)
You just choose to never know
(No, you just don’t know what I do, what I do, oh, Valerie)
Valerie
Why pretend to trust in me?
(I don't know why you try to trust in me baby, but I think I know)
Valerie (I know, Valerie)
You'd rather this than be alone

[Chorus]
'Cause I love you
And I need you
I only want you
And nobody's going to know if it's true
'Cause I love you
And I need you
I only want you
And nobody's going to know if it's true

[Outro]
And I love you
('Cause I love you baby)
And I need you
(When I need, need)
I only want you
And nobody gonna know...

The Weeknd

Abel Makkonen Tesfaye (born February 16, 1990 in Scarborough, Ontario), popularly known as The Weeknd, is an R&B/pop/hip-hop singer-songwriter and record producer from Toronto, Canada. He has been referred to as the songbird of his generation and the best musical talent since Michael Jackson throughout his career.

The Weeknd gained widespread critical acclaim for his three mixtapes, House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence, which he later compiled to make a remastered, three-disc album titled Trilogy after signing his record deal with Republic. In 2013, he released Kiss Land, which was considered to be his debut studio album.

In 2014, he dropped “Often,” a remix of Beyonce’s “Drunk In Love,” and “King of the Fall.” The Weeknd released two songs in collaboration with the film Fifty Shades of Grey, with “Earned It” becoming his solo breakout hit.
