When I saw you standing there 
I about fell off my chair 
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 
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
