Marvin Gaye – I Want You lyrics
(ware/ross)
Madonna
I want you, the right way
I want you, but I want you to want me too
Want you to want me baby
Just like I want you
I'll give you all the love
I want in return
But half the love is all I feel
Sweet darling
It's too bad it's too sad
You don't want me no more
But I'm gonna change your mind
Someway, somehow
I want you, the right way
I want you, but I want you to want me too
Want you to want me baby
Just like I want you
One way love is just a fantasy
To share is precious
??? Right there
Don't play with somethin
You should cherish for life, oh baby
Don't you wanna care
Ain't it lonely out there
I want you, the right way
I want you, but I want you to want me too
Want you to want me baby
Just like I want you
I want you, the right way
I want you, but I want you to want me too
Want you to want me baby
Just like I want you
I want you, the right way
Want me, baby
Don't play with something
You should cherish for life
