Lyrics: I’d Love You To Want Me (R. Kent LaVoie / Big Tree) When I saw you standing there I ’bout fell off my chair And when you moved your mouth to speak I felt the blood go to my feet Now it took time for me to know What you tried so not to show Something in my soul just cried I see the want in your blue eyes Chorus : Baby, I’d love you to want me The way that I want you The way that it should be Baby, you’d love me to want you The way that I want to If you’d only let it be You told yourself years ago You’d never let your feelings show The obligation that you made For the title that they gave Baby, I’d love you to want me The way that I want you The way that it should be Baby, you’d love me to want you The way that I want to If you’d only let it be Now it took time for me to know What you tried so not to show Something in my soul just cried I see the want in your blue eyes Baby, I’d love you to want me The way that I want you The way that it should be Baby, you’d love me to want you The way that I want to If you’d only let it be Oh baby...
