Lyrics

I Want You - A Cappella With Bass And Congas

I want you, the right way

I want you

But I want you to want me, too

Want you to want me baby

Just like I want you

Oh, I'll give you all the love

I want in return, sweet darling

But half the love is all I feel

Ooh, it's too bad it's just too sad

You don't want me now

But I'm gonna change your mind

Someway, somehow, aw baby

I want you, the right way

I want you

But I want you to want me, too

Want you to want me baby

Just like I want you

One way love is just a fantasy

To share is precious, pure and fair

Don't play with somethin'

You should cherish for life, oh baby

Don't you want to care

Ain't it lonely out there

I want you, the right way

I want you

But I want you to want me too

Want you to want me baby

Just like I want you

I want you, the right way

I want you

But I want you to want me too

Want you to want me baby

Just like I want you
