Kent LaVoie / Big Tree)When I saw you standing thereI 'bout fell off my chairAnd when you moved your mouth to speakI felt the blood go to my feetNow it took time for me to knowWhat you tried so not to showSomething in my soul just criedI see the want in your blue eyesChorus :Baby, I'd love you to want meThe way that I want youThe way that it should beBaby, you'd love me to want youThe way that I want toIf you'd only let it beYou told yourself years agoYou'd never let your feelings showThe obligation that you madeFor the title that they gaveBaby, I'd love you to want meThe way that I want youThe way that it should beBaby, you'd love me to want youThe way that I want toIf you'd only let it beNow it took time for me to knowWhat you tried so not to showSomething in my soul just criedI see the want in your blue eyesBaby, I'd love you to want meThe way that I want youThe way that it should beBaby, you'd love me to want youThe way that I want toIf you'd only let it beOh baby...
