I want you

Oh my baby baby I love you more than I can tell
I don´t think I can live without you
And I know that I never will
Oh my baby baby I want you so it scares me to death
I can´t say anymore than "I love you"
Everything else is a waste of breath
I want you
You´ve had your fun you don´t get well no more
I want you
Your fingernails go dragging down the wall
Be careful darling you might fall
I want you
I woke up and one of us was crying
I want you
You said "Young man I do believe you´re dying"
I want you
If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days
I want you
You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways
I want you
Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget
I want you
Since when were you so generous and inarticulate
I want you
It´s the stupid details that my heart is breaking for
It´s the way your shoulders shake and what they´re shaking for
it´s knowing that he knows you now after only guessing
I want you
It´s the thought of him undressing you or you undressing
I want you
He tossed some tattered compliment your way
I want you
And you were fool enough to love it when he said
"I want you"
I want you
The truth can´t hurt you it´s just like the dark
It scares you witless
But in time you see things clear and stark
I want you
Go on and hurt me then we´ll let it drop
I want you
I´m afraid I won´t know where to stop
I want you
I´m not ashamed to say I cried for you
I want you
I want to know the things you did that we do too
I want you
I want to hear he pleases you more than I do
I want you
I might as well be useless for all it means to you
I want you
Did you call his name out as he held you down
I want you
Oh no my darling not with that clown
I want you
You´ve had your fun you don´t get well no more
I want you
No-one who wants you could want you more
I want you
Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up
I want you
I want you
I´m going to say it again ´til I instill it
I know I´m going to feel this way until you kill it
I want you
I want you
I don´t think I can live without you
And I know that I never will
Oh my baby baby I want you so it scares me to death
I can´t say anymore than "I love you"
Everything else is a waste of breath
I want you
You´ve had your fun you don´t get well no more
I want you
Your fingernails go dragging down the wall
Be careful darling you might fall
I want you
I woke up and one of us was crying
I want you

I want you
If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days
