[Intro: Aaliyah]
Baby, now hold me close
Baby, now hold me close
Baby, now hold me close
Baby, now hold me close
Baby, now hold me close
Baby, now hold me close

[Verse 1: The Weeknd]
I just want to take you there
He don't gotta know where
Does he touch you here like this, this, this, this?
Let me take the friction from your lips (Ooh woah)

[Pre-Chorus: The Weeknd]
And I'ma love you girl, the way you need
Ain't no one gon' stop us, ain't no one gon' stop us
And I'm gon' give you girl, what you fiend
I'm the drug in your veins, just fight through the pain

[Chorus: The Weeknd]
He's what you want, he's what you want
He's what you want, he's what you want
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need, what you-
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need
He's what you want, he's what you want
He's what you want, he's what you want
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need, what you-
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need

[Verse 2: The Weeknd]
I got everything you want with me
I do everything he does times three
And he don't gotta know
I got you on the floor
Doing things you never thought you'd do
Baby, leave them high-heel shoes
'Cause I love it when you're looking down at me
I'm looking up at you
And I don't give a damn, shawty
Watch me knock your boots off

[Pre-Chorus: The Weeknd]
And I'ma love you girl, the way you need
Ain't no one gon' stop us, ain't no one gon' stop us
And I'm gon' give you girl, what you fiend
I'm the drug in your veins, just fight through the pain

[Chorus: The Weeknd]
He's what you want, he's what you want
He's what you want, he's what you want
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need, what you-
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need, what you-
He's what you want, he's what you want
He's what you want, he's what you want
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need, what you-
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need, what you-

[Outro]
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, ahh

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.
