I Want You to Want Me
Lindsay Lohan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I love you to love me

Shine up my high heel shoes
Put on a brand new shirt
Get home early from work
If you say that you love me

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying
Felling all alone without a friend you feel like dying
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me

Shine up my high heel shoes
Put on a brand new shirt
Get home early from work
If you say that you love me

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying
Felling all alone without a friend you feel like dying
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying

Felling all oa lone without a friend you feel like dying
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me
I want you to want me [4x]

If she could get paid to sing... I sure as heck can! I do like the music though and this is a super fun performance! She has awesome stage presence... Probably because she's a great actress! I used to have this CD, but I think acting is her strong point. ☺💁
