“I Want You” was the first song Lords recorded for 1000 Fires. In her autobiography she reminisced about the recording session with Tom Bailey:
I was a huge fan of his and remembered listening to his music when I was in school. I still had an old Thompson Twins T-shirt from a concert I’d gone to as...
[Verse 1]
It's four in the morning and I'm praying for rain
A boom crash crazy, running through my veins
With your thin white lips and your hair so wet
I need to climb inside your pretty head
[Chorus]
I, I, I-I-I, I want you
I, I, I-I-I, You know I do
[Verse 2]
I know that you're a Sunday child
A boom crash baby, obliged to be wild
I'm looking at you through telescope
I get high on love, I get high on hope
[Chorus]
But I, I, I-I-I, I want you
I, I, I-I-I, You know I do
[Verse 3]
When the party is over and your make-up's run
A boom crash baby, we can speak of love
But from now until that time I will be your sacrifice
[Chorus]
But I, I, I-I-I, I want you
I, I, I-I-I, You know I do
I Want You was written by Babble.
I Want You was produced by Babble.
