I Want You
Anthony Hamilton Lyrics
I, I want, I want you
Been around the world, seen a lot of pretty girls
But you're the only one for me, yeah
I'm happy with my choice, and a lot of back and forth
I want your love exclusively, you and me
You and me one on one
We can have a lot of fun lovin' in a first degree
I, I want, I want you
Why can't we see the love, you and I can be as one
Quality time you and I, in the top of the crown
You're the the only one on the top if my list, the only one
