[Chorus]
I want you (And I want you) — the right way (The right way, babe)
I want you (Yes, I do)
But I want you to want me too (Want me too)
Want you to want me, baby (And I want you to do right, baby)
Just like I want you (Woo)
[Verse 1]
Oh, I give you all the love I want in return, sweet darling
But half a love is all I feel
Ooh, it's too bad, it's just too sad, you don't want me now
But I'm going to 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, 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 something you should cherish for life, oh baby
Don't you want to care? Ain't it lonely out there?
[Chorus]
I want you (I want you) — the right way (Want you, baby)
I want you
But I want you to want me too
I want you to want me, baby (Oh, I want you to get down, baby)
When I get down with you, yeah, darlin', oh, ooh (Just like I want you)
[Outro]
Get down, baby, woo
Have mercy
Listen precious, I wanted you
For a long time
I wanted you
More than you can imagine
Oh baby, so fine, ow!
I want you - the right way, baby
I want you, baby
But I want you to want me too, baby
Gotta, gotta, gotta love me, sugar
Oh, the way that I love you
Woooo, I want you
