I Want You (Single Version) Lyrics

[Chorus]
I want you (And I want you)
The right way (And the right way)
I want you (Yes, I do)
But I want you to want me too (Want me too)
I want you to want me, baby (And I want it to be the right way)
Just like I want you
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
Oh, I give you all the love I want in return, sweet darlin'
But half of love is all I feel, ooh
It's too bad, it's just too sad
You don't want me now, oh no, baby
But I'm gonna change your mind
Someway, somehow, oh baby

[Chorus]
I want you the right way
I want you
But I want you to want me, too
I want you to want me, baby
Just like I want you
Ooh

[Verse 2]
This one-way love is just a fantasy, oh sugar
To share is precious, pure and fair, ooh
Don't play with somethin' you should cherish for life, oh baby
Don't you wanna care?
Ain't it lonely out there?
[Chorus]
I want you
I want you, baby
I want you
But I want you to want me, too

[Outro]
Oh, I want to get down, baby
When I get down with you (Oww)
I want you, the right way baby
I want you, baby
But I want you to want me too, baby
Got to, got to, got to (Want you to love me too)
Love me, sugar
Oh, the way that I love you
Ooh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
