[Intro: Virtual Vic-E]
This is a special song just for our fans on the Internet
Sometimes you need that...

[T-Boz]
Ha, TLC's back boy
Again and again, Woo

Ooh, ayi yi yi yi (I, I, hah hah)
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ayi yi yi yi
Ayi yi yi yi yi

[Verse 1: T-Boz (Left Eye)]
You and me (You and me)
Trading fantasies (Uh huh)
Lying on the beach (yeah)
Ooh baby (Ooh, ooh baby)
I need you next to me (Next to me)
Cause I'm steadily [uh]
Craving all the things
That you gave to me, oh (That you gave to me)

[Pre-Chorus: T-Boz]
Don't you wanna know the dreams that I go through (uh)
Picturin' the things I want to show you (Yeah)
Tellin' me sweet things
I want to hold you close to me (close to me)
I really don't care who knows
I wanna break you off
Give it to you like I'm supposed to
Baby, I (Baby, I)
I can't take this no more
I want you

[Chorus (2x)]
Take me, cause I want and I need that
Squeeze me, baby you know I like that
Tease me, I got to have you on me
I Need That (Cause I Need That)

[Verse 2: Chilli (Left Eye)]
Constantly (Constantly)
I fantasize on how to be (How to be)
Your favorite lady (Uh huh)
Ooh, ooh baby (Ooh)
I wanna feel your energy (Your energy)
Just flowin' through me (Flow through me)
Creatin' memories (Uh)
Of how I know it could be, oh

[Pre-Chorus: Chilli]
Don't you wanna know the dreams that I go through (Go through)
Picturin' the things I want to show you (Show you)
Tellin' me sweet things
I want to hold you close to me (close to me)
I really don't care who knows
I wanna break you off (Break you)
Give it to you like I'm supposed to
Baby I, can't take this no more
I want you

[Chorus (4x)]
Take me, cause I want and I need that (Take me)
Squeeze me, baby you know I like that
Tease me, I got to have you on me
I Need That (Cause I Need That)

[Verse 3: Left Eye]
Yo, I keep it blazin', it's so amazin'
The occasion that I am raisin'
Mind, body, invasion
So who you savin' all that love for
Open up your mind explore, and make it hard core
You can be the candy man
I'll be your candy store
Give you just a little more than what you bargained for
And if you ask me for some guidance
It's not a minus
I'll break it down to a science, kitchen appliance
To what extent can you measure the true value of my 100 percent
When I'm more passionate to you than dollars and cents?
I must confess I Need That
Don't wake me up if I'm dreamin'
Because I'll be that

[Chorus (4x)]
Take me, cause I want and I need that
Squeeze me, baby you know I like that
Tease me, I got to have you on me
I Need That (Uh because I Need That)

TLC is a trio whose musical repertoire spans over R&B, hip-hop, soul, pop, rock, funk, and new jack swing.

Consisting of Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, rapper-singer Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and singer Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, TLC found unprecedented success in the 1990s, not only as a musical group, but also for an extensive series of high profiled spats with the law, each other, and with their record label—all of which helped to solidify them as one of the definitive recording acts to emerge during the aforementioned time span.

The group, which is in fact the highest-selling girl group in America with 65 million records sold, is known for tackling important social issues in their music such as AIDS awareness, violence, domestic abuse, anorexia, bulimia, sexism, racism, and homophobia.
