Yeah I want you to want me yeah I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me yeah I'm begging you to beg me
Yeah I want you to want me I need you to need me
Yeah I'd love you to love me
I'll shine up your old brown shoes put on a brand new shirt
O get home early from work if you say that you love me
Oh didn't I didn't I didn't I see you cryin'
Oh didn't I didn't I didn't I hear you cryin'
Feeling all alone without a friend you know you feel like dyin'
Oh didn't I didn't I didn't I see you cryin'
And I want you to want me....
[ fiddle ]
I'll shine up my old brown shoes...
