To Want Me Lyrics

I remember when you first touched me

Your hand it brushed over my knee

And ignited a strange sort of plea

I wanted you desperately

But our spark was remarkably dim

Conversation was notably thin

I knew that you weren't listening

But this was a game I could win

Oh cause you think that you know me

You think that you see me

But all that I show you is what you want me to be

I must apologize for this long act cause now

I've come to realize the simple fact is

I can't say goodbye

Can't bring myself to

Cause then I'd be alone and that's worse than with you

Cause I don't want you

But baby I want you

To want me oh

Lord knows I don't need you

But oh how I need you

To need me

Cause baby these nights are long

And these days are hot

And I'm starting to become someone that I'm not

If that's what you need

For you to want me

Then so it will be

You pushed and then you pulled away

We fought then you asked me to stay

And I knew all the words you would say

But I wanted to hear them anyway

And I'm tired of playing these games

The rules they keep getting in the way

But I just can't pull myself away

Cause how can I win if I don't play

Cause I don't want you

But baby I want you

I want you I want you

To want me oh

Lord knows I don't need you

But oh how I need you

To need me

Cause baby this life is long

But our love is not

And I've done some wrong

Lord I've held my thoughts

Oh but it's time to go

Time to say goodbye

I am not your love

I am my own prize

Cause I don't want you

And I don't need you

I don't want you

And I don't need you

I don't want you

And I don't need you

I don't want you

I don't need
