When I saw you standing there 
I bout fell out of 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 cries 
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 

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 cries 
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.

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.
