I’d Love You to Want Me.

I’d Love You to Want Me.

Lyrics and Vocals: American singer/songwriter Roland Kent LaVoie [Better known by his stage name Lobo(Latter ‘Lobo’ Spanish word for wolf)].

I’d Love You to Want Me.

When I saw you standing there,
About 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.
Baby, I’d love you to want me,
The way that I want you,
The way that it should be.
(Mmm) – 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.
(Mmm) – Baby, you’d love me to want you,
The way that I want to,
If you’d only let it be.
Oh baby, I’d love you to want me,
The way that I want you,
The way that it should be.
(Mmm) – Baby, you’d love me to want you,
The way that I want to,
If you’d only let it be

I have a dream,
A song to sing,
To help me cope,
With anything.
If you see the wonder, (wonder)
Of a fairy tale,
You can take the future,
Even if you fail.
I believe in angels,
Something good in everything I see.
I believe in angels,
When I know the time is right for me.
I’ll cross the stream,
I have a dream, oh yeah.
I have a dream, (have a dream)
A fantasy, (fantasy)
To help me through, (help me through)
Reality, (reality)
And my destination, (destination)
Makes it worth the while,
Pushing through the darkness, (through the darkness, baby)
Still another mile.
I believe in angels,
Something good in everything I see,
I believe in angels,
When I know the time is right for me,
I’ll cross the stream, (cross the stream)
I have a dream.

A song to sing, (a song to sing)
To help me cope,
With anything.
If you see the wonder, (if you see the wonder )
Of a fairy tale, (of a fairy tale)
You can take the future,
Even if you fail. (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Something good in everything I see. (everything)
