I Want You to Want Me Lyrics
[Intro]
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm beggin' you to beg me
[Verse]
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd shine up the old brown shoes, I'd put on a brand-new shirt
I'd get home early from work if you say that you love me
[Chorus]
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
[Verse]
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm beggin' you to beg me
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd shine up the old brown shoes, I'd put on a brand-new shirt
I'd get home early from work if you say that you love me
[Chorus]
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
[Guitar solo]
[Hook]
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Ooh!
[Piano solo]
[Outro]
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm beggin' you to beg me
I want you...
