Want U To Want Me

[Intro: Von Pea]
Yo, mic check
You know who you are

[Verse 1: Von Pea]
No, I ain't write this for the radio either
I wrote this for a diva
Not miss Labelle, Mariah or Aretha
Fellas, you ever get that one chick and feel like you need her?
Best feeling in the world, right?
Right up until she gone and you back alone all night
Nobody to call or ask if they alright
Playin' with her like you wanna put her in all-white
But you can't, cause it ain't all tight - double meaning
She got meaner
Last month you seen her
Though she was nice, you ain't tryin' to search
So you just take the L, it could've been worse
But in the back of your mind, she could've been earth

[Chorus]
(I want you to want me, want me, too)
If you want me, here I am
(I want you to want me, want me, too)
If you want me, here I am
(I want you to want me, want me, too)
If you want me, here I am
(I want you to want me, want me, too)
If you want me, here I am

[Verse 2: Ilyas]
I want you to want me
Your image haunts me
Am I obsessed?
This damsel got me in distress
I'm just a man in the flesh that's weak and
Hers was so soft
I feel so lost without her
Doubted her
In public wasn't proud of her
Broke at the bar tryin' to get a drink out of her
Lie to her
Thought what she don't know won't bother her
But could it? Should it? She ain't my wifey
So I'd shout at her
Said I'm being distant, said I felt like I was crowding her
That was an excuse, though
I met a new ho
But now that her
And me ain't together
Been a lot of rainy weather
Should've tied the knot with her
Many nights I'd rock with her
Cussing and moaning
Then I'd like to talk with her
Up until the morning
But now she's gone and our love is extinct
And all I can think is how I should've spent my life with her

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Donwill]
Said you wasn't looking for it
But I made you want it
Can't see the forest for the trees
We kept on walking
Destination unknown
Just to make it back home
No idea where I'm leading but we're moving towards it
I'm trying to heal a broken heart
Prescribed you for sorts
Thoughts of me being your baby in your mind aborted
Distorted your view
Of what a man's supposed to do
To get to hold you for you
The game I have to forfeit
Late night
You playing like me laying with you ain't right
Take life serious, for real you could've made wife
You still could, though
We still good, yo
Both dealing with our feeling's understood so
I might see a pretty face and spend a little time but
By the end of the day it's you that's on my mind, what
What I'm trying to say is that
I, I, I, I, I want you to want me
Like I want you to want me
Like I want you to want me
Like I want you

[Chorus]
