“LIKE I WANT YOU” is GIVĒON’s first lead single teasing the release of his debut album TAKE TIME. Stuck and reminiscing on what was, GIVĒON pours out his soul in hopes that his love interest will come back to him.

LIKE I WANT YOU Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wish you knew
But I disguise the truth
I say I'm happy but I'm still stuck on us, mm-mm-mm
Does your mind play this game too?
Think 'bout me and you
I guess I'll just pretend until it all makes sense, hm-mm-hm, hmm-hmm
[Pre-Chorus]
See you face to face, I'm thinking 'bout the days we used to be
But I can't make a scene, but I can't make a scene
See you face to face, I'm thinking 'bout the days we used to be
But I can't make a scene, but I can't make it seem
[Chorus]
Like I want you
You, ooh, ooh
Even if it's true, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Even if it's true
[Verse 2]
I guess it's overdue
Tell me your point of view
Tell me, am I to blame?
You're so good with change, hm-hm-mm
A table set for two
You got me waitin' but you ain't comin' through
Try to stay patient but gotta face the truth, mm-mm-mm
Oh, woah-woah
[Pre-Chorus]
See you face to face (See you face to face), I'm thinking 'bout the days we used to be (Thinking 'bout the days)
But I can't make a scene (No, I can't make a scene), but I can't make a scene (No, no, no, no, oh)
See you face to face (See you face), I'm thinking 'bout the days we used to be (Oh-oh)
But I can't make a scene (No, no-no, no-no), but I can't make it seem
[Chorus]
Like I want you
You, ooh, ooh
Even if it's true, ooh (Even if it's true)
Ooh-ooh-ooh (You, babe)
Even if it's true
[Bridge]
There's no reason to believe I'll save us now
But if you really love me, say it now
Why is it so hard to figure out?
I need you every day, believe me when I say it
[Chorus]
Like I want you
You, ooh, ooh
Even if it's true, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Even if it's true
