I Wanna Be With You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Let the frozen cities crumble, crumble and fall
That's alright, I don't mind at all
Let 'em all tumble right into the sea
Well that's just fine, that's alright with me
Since you came down the line
I can't sleep at night, I got one thing on my mind
That's every day, every night
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you, that's what I wanna do
'Cause you're just so out of sight
I wanna be with you, that's what I wanna do
Now I lost my job at the Texaco station
'Cause instead of pumping gas I'd dream of you
I got thrown out of my house, I got such a bad reputation
'Cause all I wanna do is be seen with you
They gave me my pay and said walk
I don't care what they say, go ahead and let 'em all talk
'Til the world falls apart
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
That's what I wanna do
Until they will rip out my heart
I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you
Well, that's all I wanna do
Hold tight, love me just a little bit
Alright, a little bit more
Tonight, tonight give me just a little kiss
No, I don't know, I don't know, I don't
I just can't understand it, you're not pretty at all
But I come when you whisper, I run when you call
When I see you on the street I fall on my face
I drop to my knees, I plead my case
Oh, oh, I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you, that's what I wanna do
Oh, oh, I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you, that's all I wanna do
Oh, oh, I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you, darlin', don't you know?
Oh, oh, I wanna be with you
