If you want me
My love is waiting for you
I lived alone until I met you
My relationships, they all fell through
Those first steps were the hardest to take
But when you smiled you took my heart with you
Oh what a moment to feel your hand in mine
A choice I was given
I had already made my mind
If you want me like I want you
Lets don't waste any time
Oh baby
My love is waiting for you
I'm all yours please be mine
I chose my words as not to offend
My intentions were to get you home
You were so sweet as we dance on the floor
And I knew I'd never let you go
I'm willing to do all the things I hope you'll ask me to
It's been quite a while
Since a man made me feel the way you do
If you want me like I want you
Lets don't waste any time
Oh baby
My love is waiting for you
I'm all yours please be mine
I'm willing to do all the things
I hope you'll ask me to
It's been quite a while
Since a man made me feel the way you do
If you want me like I want you
Lets don't waste any time
Oh baby
My love is waiting for you
I'm all yours please be mine
(If you want me)
If you want me baby
(Like I want you)
Want you
Lets don't waste any time
(My love is)
(Waiting for you)
Waiting for you let
Won't you please be mine
(If you want me)
Oh if you want me my love
(Like I want you)
Ooh let don't waste any time
(My love is waiting for you)
Oh ah, waiting for you
Please be mine
