I WANTED TO TELL YOU

Do just what you want to

I think you're right

I do what I want to do, I do what I want to do

I let the world surround me

'Cause I saw no real harm

I didn't stop to think of you

You were already in my arms

I was wrong but I

I wanted to tell you, I wanted to telly you

What I couldn't say

[love]

I needed to find mine

But it took me a long time to see

Love. . . Well never mind

I know how you feel about that

Now what do you think about time

[something. . . ]

I wanted to tell you, I wanted to tell you

What I couldn't say

[love]

I needed to find mine

But it took me a long time to see

[solo]

I do what I want to do, I do what I want to do

I do what I want to do, I do what I want to do

I let the world surround me

'Cause I saw no real harm

I didn't stop to think of you,

You were already in my arms

But there was something. . .

I wanted to tell you, I wanted to tell you

What I couldn't say

[love]

I needed to find mine

But it took me a long time to see

[solo]

Love. . .
