Cause I Want You

(I was gonna call it a night but I want you here, ooh-ooh-ooh)

(I was gonna say goodnight but I need you near, la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra, ooh)

(The mood is feeling right, and I know why, why? Man)

(’Cause I want you, because I want you, because I want you, la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra, ooh)

(I was gonna let you go before I made my move, come on y’all, check it out)

(I coulda played it cool, but I’m feeling the groove, la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra, ooh-yeah)

(I’m hoping you’ll stay a while, and I know why, why? Man)

(’Cause I want you, because I want you, because I want you, got to the next one, got to the next one, ooh)

(I was gonna just sit back, watch some TV, ooh-ooh-ooh)

(I was gonna keep it casual, but you caught me, no, you wouldn’t, yeah, ooh)

(The way you look tonight, and I know why, why? Man)

(’Cause I want you, because I want you, because I want you, la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra, ooh)

(I wasn’t gonna touch your hand, but I did, uh, I’m serious man)

(I was gonna play it safe, now I’m feeling it, la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra, ooh-yeah)

(Now my heart is racing fast, and I know why, why? Man)

(’Cause I want you, because I want you, because I want you, la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra, ooh)

(I was gonna whisper softly, but I leaned in, oh, I’m serious)

(I’m gonna keep on singing this song ’cause you’re here, baby, oh)

(And if you decide to stay, I know why, why? Man)
