If You Need Me Lyrics – YoungBoy Never Broke Again

If You Need Me Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
In this part, YoungBoy is being really honest about how much he needs his partner. He’s saying that being apart from her hurts, and he hopes she feels the same way. He wants her to show that she cares just as deeply as he does. There’s a feeling of emotional frustration here—he’s tired of games and wants her to be real with him. When he calls her late at night, he wonders if she even sleeps, or if she’s up feeling the same pain and confusion he’s feeling. He just wants some comfort—her face, her voice, anything that shows she still wants this too. He’s not trying to play tough here; he’s being vulnerable, showing that love isn’t just physical, it’s emotional. All he really wants is to feel needed and reassured. Even when they’re distant, emotionally or physically, that space between them hurts. He repeats how important it is for her to express that she cares just as much, and that she needs him like he needs her. It’s about that emotional balance and not feeling like he’s the only one holding on.

[Verse 1]
Here, YoungBoy reflects on their deep connection and how they both bring value to each other. He knows she feels the same and cares like he does, and even though he’s made mistakes over and over, he’s still holding on to her because she’s different. She’s not like the other girls he’s been with—she sticks around, she’s loyal, and that matters to him. He’s admitting he’s got flaws, but he’s trying. Even though he lives a rough lifestyle—being in the studio, dealing with drama, and staying armed—he still wants a real, solid relationship. The line about pulling her hair and their intimate moments shows there’s still passion between them. He also mentions having kids with someone else (Jaz), but even with that, he and this woman are still making progress together—like they’re running a race and still in it. He pictures a future with her, maybe buying a mansion far from where they are now, escaping the past. He’s been taking risks, using all his time trying to make this life work, and he’s got no time left to waste.

[Chorus]
This part brings the focus back to how deeply he feels for her. He keeps saying how being apart hurts and how important it is to know that she truly cares. He’s not just looking for love, he’s looking for real reassurance—that she needs him just like he needs her. It’s simple but powerful, showing that emotional closeness means everything to him.

[Verse 2]
In this part, YoungBoy talks about his flashy lifestyle—he’s surrounded by luxury, nice cars, expensive jewelry, and attention from other women. But even with all that, he still keeps it real. He’s strapped, ready to defend himself, and always on alert. He doesn’t want to end up in a bad place emotionally or physically, especially over a woman who might not be worth the stress. He’s thankful that one of his people (5) made it out of the street life, showing that he values survival and growth. He mentions how they used to hustle hard, but backed off before things went too far. When it comes to the girl, he sees her as wild, like a rollercoaster, but he’s still drawn to her. Their moments are intense and deep. Even with everything going on, he’s managed to build his success and wants her to know she never has to doubt his loyalty. He’s fully in it for her and is always going to have her back.

[Chorus]
Again, the hook reminds us how much that emotional connection means to him. He just wants to be sure she’s in this with him, especially when things get rough or when they’re apart. The need for mutual care and support is the heart of everything he’s saying.

[Outro]
In the closing part, he repeats the same heartfelt message. That longing, that emotional pain when they’re distant, still hits just as hard. All he wants is to feel that she cares and wants this relationship as much as he does. It’s a soft, emotional ending that shows how much he values real love and loyalty.
