"I Just Want You" lyrics
"I Just Want You"
Give me a heart to hold the godlike truth
Give me one good soul that I can tell it through
Give me good reason to believe in you
And give me strength if you have time
Give me two hands that'll hold us up
And though you give me no more than just enough
You gave a pair of brown eyes that could call a good bluff
To somebody who thinks they shine
You, I just want you
I just want you
Spend most of my life on a microphone
Giving all that I got 'til I head back home
And when the lights go out, and I'm all alone
I've got no reason to be crying
And on a bad day I feel like a masochist
Take it away from me if it's for the best
Somehow I've ended up the head of this
Freight train that isn't mine
You, I just want you
I just want you
So take it all away
If it isn't meant for me
I don't want the easy way
I just want you
They can give me everything
But at the end of the day
The only words I'll say
Is "I just want you"
Ooh, mm mm, mm mm
It's all so simple when you break it all down
Two roads converged on a hallowed ground
It's taken all my life to hear the sacred sound
Of sweet simplicity
Saying, "Give it all back. It don't mean a thing."
You got a short-lived life and a song to sing
And the only way up is believing
And never looking down
So take it all away
If it isn't meant for me
I don't want the easy way
I just want you
They can give me everything
But at the end of the day
The only words I'll say
Is "I just want you"
You, you, you
You, you, you, mm mm
