[emotional but upbeat, with a melodic pop/R&B feel inspired by Beyoncé energy and confident Southern rap attitude inspired by GloRilla. I kept the pacing designed for 101 BPM with clear measure sections.]

SAVE ME

(101 BPM)

[Intro – Spoken | 4 Bars]

Boy…
I’m tired of sleepin’ alone…
Everybody got somebody…
Who gon’ save me?

[Verse 1 – 16 Bars]

Late night scrollin’, see the couples online
Smilin’ in the pictures while I’m losing my mind
Got my makeup done, but nowhere to go
Heart so cold but I still want love though

Friends say “girl you fine, just wait your turn”
But this empty apartment really starting to burn
I can buy my own bag, got my own light
Still want somebody kissin’ me goodnight

I be dancing in the mirror like a superstar
Then the music cut off and it hit too hard
Wanna laugh in the kitchen, hands on my waist
Somebody loving every inch of my face

I don’t need saving, but I need that touch
Somebody hold me when life too much
I’m strong on my own but I still get weak
Want somebody real when it’s hard to sleep

[Hook – “Save Me” | 8 Bars]

Save me… from this lonely night
Come love me… make it feel alright
I’m tired of dancing by myself
Tired of crying for some help

Save me… pull me close tonight
Need your heartbeat next to mine
I just wanna be somebody’s baby
Somebody come and save me

[Verse 2 – 16 Bars]

Sunlight coming through the blinds again
Another morning waking up with no boyfriend
Coffee for one and the house too quiet
Tryna act tough but my soul don’t buy it

Everybody talking ’bout “heal first girl”
I done healed so much, where my person girl?
I got dreams, I got goals, I got everything else
But love the only thing I can’t give myself

Want road trips, matching laughs, late drives
Movie nights and little kisses at red lights
Somebody hyping me when I walk in the room
Flowers in the kitchen just to brighten the mood

I don’t care about the money or the fame
Just somebody proud to say my name
I been patient, I been praying faithfully
But tonight I really need you saving me

[Breakdown Rap – “Save Me” | 16 Bars]

Okay look—
Bad lil’ thing but I cry in private
Whole lotta love and ain’t nobody trying it
Independent chick, yeah I got deposits
Still want somebody laying on my body

Face card lethal, nails done pretty
Still ride solo through the whole damn city
Girls night over, now it’s back to the silence
TV on loud tryna cover the quiet

Everybody wanna text after midnight
Where you at when I need love in real life?
I don’t want games, I don’t want flexing
Need me a king that protect my blessings

Hair tied up and the bonnet satin
Still look cute when I’m mad and snapping
If you real, baby come don’t waste me
Whole lotta love over here — save me

[Outro – Verse 3 | 16 Bars]

Maybe one day you gon’ walk through the door
And I won’t feel lonely anymore
Maybe all these tears gon’ mean something then
Maybe broken hearts really can mend

I still believe in forever somehow
Even if it ain’t working out right now
I keep dancing with hope in my chest
Praying real love gon’ find me next

Till then I sing to the moonlight sky
Holding my pillow every night I cry
But deep inside I still believe
There’s somebody out there made for me

So if you hear me, baby don’t delay
I got a whole lotta love to give away
No more lonely nights, no more “maybe”
Come hold my heart… and save me

[Ad-Libs Out]

Save meeeee…
(Somebody love me…)
Ohhhh yeah…
(Don’t leave me lonely…)
Save me… save me…
Yeah… yeah…
jmj on the beat…
Come save me…
