Rainy morning here in GA. Honestly, I just wanted to knock something out as quickly as I could just to be first this week! Was trying to sound like a certain band here, but nobody is ever gonna guess who they are. Got a laugh out of the idea of writing a song called "I Want You," and then continuing the line to say "I want you to leave me alone!" Seemed funnier to me in my head before I wrote it all down.
And yes, that is the same orchestra hit from "Owner Of A Lonely Heart.' Cause really, why not?
lyrics
I Want You
I Want You
I want you to leave me alone
I’m so much better all on my own
I want you to know how it feels
When your lover’s true face is revealed
Oh I Want You
I Want You
I want you to sort it all out
Since you’ve been gone I’m just riddled with doubt
I want you to get with the plan
Cause I won’t share you with some other man
Oh I Want You
I Want You
What you cannot see
Has left a mark on me
I’ll leave a candle burning bright
And what you will not do
Is still haunting you
Search your soul and make it right
I want you to pick up the pace
Don’t leave me out here floating in space
I want you to tell me the truth
I’m losing patience I’m wasting my youth
Oh I Want You
I Want You
I want you to come back to me
I’m in a prison please set me free
I want you to fix what is wrong
The nights are endless, they go on and on (and on)
