I Want You

You tell me every thought and every tainted glance,
and now in broken tears I feel I have a chance.
It's funny, all these years I didn't think it through
now every time I think I seem to think of you.
It's something I must do
because you cannot see that I am lone-ly too.

I want you
I want you
I don't know how I can live
without your love.

I want you
I want you
I don't know how I can live
without your love.

A glance, my feelings show and I cannot pretend.
I take your slender hand like any other friend.
Before I move I look about the restaurant,
A blink, a burning pause to picture what I want
and then I speak to you,
because you cannot see that I am lone-ly too.

I want you
I want you
I don't know how I can live
without your love.

I want you
I want you
I don't know how I can live
without your love.

Through seven years and ten relationships were together.
And like a bullet or lightning bolt, I found I
need you for ever and ever.

I want you
I want you
I don't know how I can live
without your love.

I want you
I want you
I don't know how I can live
without your love.
