I’d Love You to Want Me

When I saw you standing there,

I‘bout fell out of my chair.

And when you moved your mouth to speak,

I felt the blood go to my cheek.

Now it took time for me to know,

What you tried so not to show.

But something in my soul just cried.

I see the want in your blue eyes.

Baby,I’d love you to want me,

The way that I want you,

The way that it should be.

Baby,you‘d love me to want you,

The way that I want you,

If you’d only let it be.

You told me yourself years ago,

You‘d never let your feeling show.

The obligation that you made,

For the title that they gave.

Baby,I’d love you to want me,

The way that I want you,

The way that it should be.

Baby,you‘d love me to want you,

The way that I want you,

If you’d only let it be.

Now it takes time for me to know,

What you tried so not to show.

But something in my soul just cried.

I see the want in your blue eyes.

Baby,I‘d love you to want me,

The way that I want you,

The way that it should be.

Baby,you’d love me to want you,

The way that I want you.

If you‘d only let it be.

Baby,I’d love you to want me,

The way that I want you,

The way that it should be.

Baby,you‘d love me to want you

The way that I want you

If you’d only let it be.
