I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I'm begging you to beg me.
And i want you now.
Yeah i want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I'm begging you to beg me.
I'd love you to love me.
Buy a brand new shirt, put on brand new shoes,
I'd do anything if you say, that you love me.
Didn't i didn't i didn't i see you crying.
Didn't i didn't i didn't i see you cryin'?
Sittin' all alone i know you felt like dyin'.
Didn't i didn't i didn't i see you cryin'.
I want you to want me.
