In the morning I raise my head
And I’m thinkin’ of days gone by
And the thing I want out of life is
I want you (I want you)
I want you (I want you)
You can run, you can hide
But you never get away
You can lie and deny
But you know you’re gonna pay
Never loved, never thought you could
Treat you right, girl, you know I would
You can fight but tonight
There’s nothin’ you can do

I want you (I want you)
Baby, baby, babe, I want you (I want you)

You can walk in a haze
You can travel till you die
You can live in a dream
your life will pass you by
Every day that you hesitate
You’re never changin’ the hands of fate
You can fight but tonight
There’s nothing you can do
I want you (I want you)
Baby, baby, babe I want you (I want you)
In the morning I raise my head
And I’m thinkin’ of days gone by
And the thing I want out of life is
I want you (I want you)
Baby, baby, babe I want you (I want you)
I want you (I want you)
Baby, baby, babe I want you (I want you)
I want you (I want you)
I want you (I want you)
I want you (I want you)
I want you (I want you)
Ah (I want you) (I want you)
