[Intro]
I want you
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna sleep, go on and speak
Wearin' out the carpet with my feet
[Chorus]
I want you
I want you
[Verse 2]
You don't know how bad you've got me hooked
I hate myself 'cause you don't like my looks
[Chorus]
I want you
I want you
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah
I want you
[Verse 3]
Everything's still playin' in my head
I'm twistin' and I'm cryin' in my bed
[Chorus]
I want you
Yeah, I want you
[Bridge]
It's not fair
I should be there too
With you
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Here I am, still tryin' to erase
Everything, your voice, your smile, your face
[Chorus]
But I want you
Yeah, I want you
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah
I want you
'Cause I want you
Yeah, I want you
Want You was written by Vicki Peterson.
Vicki Peterson told Rock Cellar Magazine:
“Want You” was definitely an unrequited love song that I think I wrote in seven minutes – and it sounds like it (laughs).
