The Wanting
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.
I've watched lovers come and go from your life
And they've all got something in common
When they're looking for fun, it's all right
It keeps your heart throbbin'
But give you the love you seem to desire
It's like water being poured on a fire
Is it the lovin' that you want?
Or the warmth of their true love?
I don't wanna play a game
But if you like that way (like it that way)
I'll keep you wanting, wanting my love
(Wanting, wanting, wanting my love)
Wanting, wanting my love
(Wanting, wanting, wanting my love)
Temptation is your favourite suit
But it's more than just teasing
There's a heart that beats strong inside of you
And it's just aching for pleasing
And who's to say it's wrong to be who you are?
I think I know the key to your heart
Is it the lovin' that you want?
Or the warmth of their true love?
I don't wanna play a game
But if you like that way (like it that way)
I'll keep you wanting, wanting my love
(Wanting, wanting, wanting my love)
I'll keep you wanting, wanting my love
(Wanting, wanting, wanting my love)
And who's to say it's wrong to be who you are?
I think I know the key to your heart
Is it the lovin' that you want?
Or the warmth of their true love?
I don't wanna play a game
But if you like that way (like it that way)
I'll keep you wanting, wanting my love
(Wanting, wanting, wanting my love)
Always (always) wanting my love
(Wanting, wanting, wanting my love)
Ooh, yeah
Wanting, wanting my love
(Wanting, wanting, wanting my love)
Always (always) wanting my love
(Wanting, wanting, wanting my love)
Wanting my love
