I Want You Lyrics
Oooohhh...
Hey Hey Hey Hey...
I want you
Hey, I love the night life
Yes I do it's so much fun
And before you know it
Ah here comes the sun
Sweetheart it's been real, but...
The thrill is gone
Silence is like a spirt
That picked my house to haunt
But I know it's there so I'm nonchalant
Yet deep inside I need what I want
(Chorus)
And I want you to run away with me and experience something new
Anything you've already done just won't do
I want you
And I want you to genuinely and sincerely want me too
You can believe in me baby
Don't be cruel
'Cause I want you
Would a trip to a remoted island ease your mind
Oh you look like a solitare every sunshine
I like her 'cause she's fun
And she's fearless
She's a friend of mine
And I'm not trying to say that you need some help
Or you can have anything you want with your bad self
I like her 'cause she's smart
But she's still sexy
She is somethin' else
(Chorus)
That's why I want you to run away with me and experience something new
Anything you've already done just won't do
I want you
And I want you to genuinely and sincerely want me too
You can believe in my baby, don't be cruel
'Cause I want you
Oooh...
Oh one world to find a lady
That happens to be three times the lady
God is good
But he took his time when he designed you baby
That's why I want you
And
Oh I'll even quit my job
Lovin' you, I'll make it my job
Thank you Lord, thank you Lord
This is it
My God!
That's why I want you
(Fades Out To Chorus)
Hey Hey Hey Hey...
I want you
Yes I do it's so much fun
And before you know it
Ah here comes the sun
Sweetheart it's been real, but...
The thrill is gone
That picked my house to haunt
But I know it's there so I'm nonchalant
Yet deep inside I need what I want
And I want you to run away with me and experience something new
Anything you've already done just won't do
I want you
And I want you to genuinely and sincerely want me too
You can believe in me baby
Don't be cruel
'Cause I want you
Oh you look like a solitare every sunshine
I like her 'cause she's fun
And she's fearless
She's a friend of mine
Or you can have anything you want with your bad self
I like her 'cause she's smart
But she's still sexy
She is somethin' else
That's why I want you to run away with me and experience something new
Anything you've already done just won't do
I want you
And I want you to genuinely and sincerely want me too
You can believe in my baby, don't be cruel
'Cause I want you
Oh one world to find a lady
That happens to be three times the lady
God is good
But he took his time when he designed you baby
That's why I want you
Oh I'll even quit my job
Lovin' you, I'll make it my job
Thank you Lord, thank you Lord
This is it
My God!
That's why I want you

my favourite song from the lady killer. it's so passionate and the music is just hmmmmmm... :)
For me, this song is about a guy who has been with his girl for a while. He loves but the lust/desire/spark has disappeared.
"Sweetheart it's been real, but... the thrill is gone."
It's about how he wants to desire her again and is willing her to experience new things with him in order to rekindle the flame.
"That's why I want you to run away with me and experience something new"
After this flame is rekindled, he has a rediscovered enthusiasm and adoration for her. He thanks God for making someone so amazing as her and asserts his committment and devotion to loving her.
"Lovin' you, I'll make it my job. Thank you Lord, thank you Lord. This is it. My God!"
I can't get over how goddamned beautiful this song is, instrumentally, lyrically... everything. Makes me gush every time I hear it. I can't believe this hasn't been commented on more.
My boyfriend and I make mixtapes for each other and I'm currently working on an old school/soul/motown mixtape for him (he needs to be educated on that genre, hah) but I'll be making him a current soul playlist and by God, this is so on it!
Remember Just Like Starting Over? It share the same concept and storytelling. Which I Love where you and her/him need to be alone together. I really digging this, example? I want you to Starting over. :D
