To Want Me
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
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

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
