I Want You
Elias and The Wizzkids Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The more I see you, the more I want you
Somehow this feeling just grows and grows
With every sigh I become more mad about you
More lost without you and so it goes

Can you imagine how much I love you?
The more I see you as years go by
I know the only one for me can only be you

My arms won't free you, my heart won't try

The more I see you, the more I want you
Somehow this feeling just grows and grows
With every sigh I become more mad about you
More lost without you and so it goes

Can you imagine how much I love you?
The more I see you as years go by
I know the only one for me can only be you

My arms won't free you, my heart won't try
Can you imagine how much I love you?
