I Wanna Be with You
ºó½ÖÄк¢(Backstreet Boys) Lyrics

I wanna be with you
The singer wants to spend time with the person they’re addressing.

It's crazy but it's true
Despite the illogical nature of their desire, the singer knows they truly want to be with this person.

And everything I do
All of the singer’s actions and thoughts are motivated by their desire to be with this person.

I'd like to know your policy
The singer wants to understand how the person feels about them.

When it comes to me
The singer is specifically interested in how the person feels about them.

Like to know what's in your mind
The singer wants to understand the person's thoughts and feelings.

It's not easy to see
The person's emotions towards the singer are unclear.

I know now what I feel
The singer has come to understand their own emotions and desire to be with the person.

And what to do
The singer knows what actions to take to try to be with the person.

And I'll be waitin'
The singer is willing to patiently wait for the person to come around.

Until you face the truth
The singer believes there is a truth that the person must realize or confront in order to be with them.

When the light is fadin'
When the situation or relationship appears to be falling apart, the singer still wants to be with the person.

You know what I wanna do
The singer’s desire to be with the person is clear and unchanging.

Chorus
The chorus repeats the singer’s core message about wanting to be with the person, no matter how illogical it seems.

Bridge
The bridge includes a cheer to indicate that the singer is not alone in their desire.

Wish you'd come and set me free
The singer feels limited in their abilities until the person reciprocates their feelings.

So that I can see
Once the person allows the singer to be with them, they will be able to see things differently.

All the things I've left behind
The singer has given up other opportunities and experiences for the chance to be with this person.

What's missin' in me
The singer believes that they have something to gain by being with this person and that some part of them is incomplete without them.

I'm lookin' for a sign
The singer is searching for evidence that the person reciprocates their feelings.

In the things you do
The singer is observing the person's actions to try to determine if they feel the same way.

2nd Chorus
The second chorus repeats the same message from the first with more emphasis.
