I try but I can't seem to get myself to think of anything but you
Your breath¹ on my face your warm, gentle kiss I taste the truth, I taste the truth
We know what I came here for
So I won't ask for more
[CHORUS]
I wanna be with you
If only for a night
To be the one who's in your arms to hold you tight²
I wanna be with you
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more than to feel this way
I wanna be with you
So I'll hold you tonight like I would if you were mine to hold forevermore
And I'll savor³ each touch that I've wanted so much to feel before, to feel before
How beautiful it is
Just to be like this
[CHORUS]
Oh, baby
I can't fight this feeling anymore(anymore)
Drives me crazy when I try to
So call my name and take my hand
Can you make my wish, baby, your command(command)?
Yeah
[CHORUS]
Oh yeah
I wanna be with you
Wanna be with you, ooo, yeah
I wanna be, I wanna be
