“I Want To Love” is a bubbly, up-tempo song, a polar opposite to the remorseful tone in the lyrics—the narrator laments his inability to learn from his mistakes, insisting that his desire for love controls his behaviors.
It was a track from the deluxe version of London-based trio Years & Years‘...
[Verse 1]
I got a shadow and he wants me to come clean
All of the danger that he wanted me to feel
Now I'm fighting hunger, swallowing on scars
Pull me under
Tell me what you want
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I...
I want to love, I want to love, I want to love
I want to love, I want to love, I want to love
I want to love, I want to love, I want to love
I want to love, I want to love, I want to love
I want to love, I want to love, I want to love
[Chorus]
Everybody told me it was bad to do
I know my reasons
I won't prove myself to you
I'm not the one you should be playing with
I'll tear you up
I won't behave myself for this
No, no, I'm never gonna
No, no, I'm never gonna
No, no, I'm never gonna
I'm never gonna learn
I'm never gonna learn
[Verse 2]
I made a promise to deliver all the crimes
I don't belong to anybody else's lives
I will take your hunger, give you what you want
Pull you under, I will do you harm
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I...
I want to love, I want to love, I want to love
I want to love, I want to love, I want to love
I want to love, I want to love, I want to love
I want to love, I want to love, I want to love
I want to love, I want to love, I want to love
[Chorus]
Everybody told me it was bad to do
I know my reasons
I won't prove myself to you
I'm not the one you should be playing with
I'll tear you up
I won't behave myself for this
No, no, I'm never gonna
No, no, I'm never gonna
No, no, I'm never gonna
I'm never gonna learn
I'm never gonna learn
