I Want You Lyrics

I want you to realize its my life
I want you to realize it in paradise
I want you to glide with the air you breathe
I want you to set me free
I'm gonna climb to the highest hill
Gonna take control, I'm gonna free my will
I'm gonna swallow it whole like some giant new pill
Cause I belive it every day
And I believe it wont go away
And I believe it every day
I want you

I want you to realize it's your life
I want you to take my advise
I want you to slide with your soul and see
I want you to set me free

I'm gonna drive to the highest hill
Gonna take control I'm gonna free my will
I'm gonna swallow it whole like some giant new pill
Cause I believe it every day
And I believe it wont go away
And I believe it everyday
I want you

I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you
Slide with your soul and see

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

...it's awfully scary to tell someone "I want you. I want to be with you." ... but that's what this song is.

While that may be true, catherineks, I have to agree with the AMG reviewer on this one (http://wm10.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=&sql=10:jbfwxqljldhe):

"...'I Want You,' is far from the declaration of love its title might suggest; ironically, the song is instead a call for independence and a celebration of free will..."
