Can’t See You When I Want To

[Intro]
I want to see you, baby, right now, yeah
But I know why I can't see you, oh, tonight

[Verse 1]
'Cause I know you are tied up, and I'm free
And you got so much to lose
Taking chances seeing me

[Chorus]
Yet you say you love me
And I say, girl, I'm gonna keep on loving you
Even though I can't see you when I want to
My, my

[Verse 2]
Last night you said you'd meet me, mhm
At the same old usual time
But you were late and you had to leave early
Don't you know it blew my mind

[Chorus]
Oh, girl, I'm suffering right here
Oh, but still I'm gonna keep on loving you
Even though I can't see you when I want to, oh oh

[Bridge]
You say we oughta stop
There's no future for you or me, yeah
But I know we want each other
And we don't care
We don't care what the outcome may be, ooh ooh

[Verse 3]
Oh, we can't see each other
Every time we want to
'Cause he just might wanna take you out
And I'll have to wait, wait 'til he gets through
Oh, but, baby, I'm gonna wait
Another thing I know I'm gonna keep on loving you
Even though I just can't see ya
I just can't see ya
I just can't, I can't, my, my Lord, yeah, baby
Can't you understand that I want you now? Yes I do
Baby, right now
I'm gon' call your name, baby, baby
My, my, my life may be empty, girl
Oh, but when I have you near me
You may not believe it but I feel good, yeah, yes I do
Lord, I just, I just, I just, I, I just feel so good
So good, baby, yes I do
You got me, you got me, you got me worried, girl
'Cause I'm wondering if there's ever gonna be a change
Or just will I be second best? Ooh ooh
Why, why, why, why, why, why?
I'm gonna talk to you right now

[Outro]
You know, baby, I'm so confused tonight, yeah
'Cause in your life, I know there are two men
Me and your main man
Now, I may not can give you everything he can
I may not can take ya all the places he can
But in my soul, I know I got a real love for ya
And in my mind, I just don't know which way to turn, woman
'Cause your love is so good to me
And I know I'm wrong, yes I am
But I'm gonna hold on to ya
And maybe one day, maybe you'll say that everything is all right
Maybe you'll call my name
Maybe you'll say, "Dave, come and take me right now"
But girl, I'm gonna keep waiting
And every night that I can't see you when I want to
I'm just gon' fold my arms, I'm gon' look at my four walls
And I'm gonna say baby, baby, baby, oh baby, baby, baby
My, my Lord, Lord, Lord, yeah, baby
When I have you near me, oh, I can wait
'Cause you make me feel so good, good
Oh, I just wanna say baby, baby, my, my, my baby
I may not can see you when I want to
But I'm gonna wait, and I'm gonna see you when I can, baby
You know why? 'Cause I love you, love you, love you
Love you, love you, oh baby, love you
I just love you, yes I do, baby
Love you, love you
