Wanted
Tank · Other Songs - Tank
I'm looking for this girl
Her name is love
Dreamed about her a thousand times
Only had her once
Damn I gots to get to her
How did I lose her & my mind at the same time
Oh
Been all around the world
Where could she be
Ain't nuthin like when she was next to me
Still smell the scent of her perfume
So lonely in this room
Something I cant get used to
[Thought I could find someone to do what she do]
Turns out that I was living a lie
& She was the truth
What did I do, guess I was just a fool
Now I need her to know..
[She's Wanted]
Gotta put that word on the streets
[Wanted] Hang up some posters for me
[Wanted] Stands about yay tall, 36, 24 real love, real talk
[She's Wanted]
Violation 243 committed battery to my heart
Now if I gotta look forever, swear that I'm gone get her
[She's Wanted, Wanted, Wanted]
Oh
I should have listened when she said she felt alone
The only feelings I cared about were my own
How could I be so selfish
It hurts I cant help it
Traumatized my baby's gone
[Thought I could find someone to do what she do]
Turns out that I was living a lie
& She was the truth
What did I do, guess I was just a fool
Now I need her to know..
[She's Wanted]
Gotta put that word on the streets
[Wanted] Hang up some posters for me
[Wanted] Stands about yay tall, 36, 24 real love, real talk
[She's Wanted]
Violation 243 committed battery to my heart
Now if I gotta look forever, swear that I'm gone get her
[She's Wanted, Wanted, Wanted]
..
Coulda swore I saw her dip around that corner
She got out before I could push up on her [I was too slow]
Don't know how but she keep getting away from me
I need to step up my search put out that APB
Coulda swore I saw her dip around that corner
She got out before I could push up on her [OOh]
Dont know how but she keep getting away from me
I need to step up my search put out that APB
[She's Wanted]
Gotta put that word on the streets
[Wanted] Hang up some posters for me
[Wanted] Stands about yay tall, 36, 24 real love, real talk
[She's Wanted]
Violation 243 committed battery to my heart
Now if I gotta look forever, swear that I'm gone get her
[She's Wanted, Wanted, Wanted]
