I Just Want You - Live at the Variety Playhouse, Atlanta, GA - May 2013
Give me your heart to hold the godlike truth.
Give me one good soul 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 this up.
I know you give me no more than just enough.
You gave a pair of brown eyes that could call a good bluff
And somebody who thinks they shine.
And you, I just want you.
I just want you.
Spend most of my life on a microphone
Giving all that I got till 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.
And 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."
Mmmm. Mmmmm. Mmmmm.
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
In 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.
Ooohoohooh.
I just want you.
Aaaahhh. Aaaaahhh.
Mmmmm.
Give me one good soul 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 this up.
I know you give me no more than just enough.
You gave a pair of brown eyes that could call a good bluff
And somebody who thinks they shine.
And you, I just want you.
I just want you.
Spend most of my life on a microphone
Giving all that I got till 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.
And 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.
