Lyrics
[verse]
Got the money, got the fame, got the whole world at my feet
Every kind of luxury but the picture ain't complete
Rooms full of people but I'm feeling kind of alone
Looking for a voice that sounds like coming home
Sample horns are looping like a memory I chase
Every kind of ending needs a warmer kind of place
I been living loud but something quiet's missing still
Searching for a feeling that no money ever will
[chorus]
I need a girl who can stand beside the throne
Someone real to call my own
Not the shine, not the fame, just a steady heart
Somebody there before the limelight starts
[verse]
Club lights fading out when the party finally ends
Everybody scatters, back to being strangers, friends
Sample-based memory looping like a lonely tape
Every kind of moment leaves a different kind of shape
I done tried it fast, I done tried it free
None of that replaces what a real love could be
Rnb hook singing what my heart already knew
I just need somebody honest, someone through and through
[chorus]
I need a girl who can stand beside the throne
Someone real to call my own
Not the shine, not the fame, just a steady heart
Somebody there before the limelight starts
[bridge]
Ninety-five the tempo of a heart that's slowing down
Looking past the diamonds, looking past the crown
All I want is simple, all I want is true
Somebody who remembers who I was, who I am too
[chorus]
I need a girl who can stand beside the throne
Someone real to call my own
Not the shine, not the fame, just a steady heart
Somebody there before the limelight starts
