All I want is you
I want to hold your hand
Please let me be your friend
Just got to be with you

We don’t need to dance
Don’t need no outside friends
Just we two,
I got to be with you

It’s a moonlit night
We’re gonna be alright
Nobody else in view,
Just wanna be with you

Ah, wanna be with you
Ah, wanna be with you

Take you up on love
You’re gonna want to stay
Never comin’ down,
Just want to be with you

Wanna see you smile
I’m gonna make you feel good
That’s when you’ll say
I just wanna be with you
