I Really Want to See You Again
Raul Midón Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

do do do...

I never wanted to break your heart
I never wanted to hurt you
I never thought there could be anyone
Like you in my life, oh no

I can't remember why we drifted apart

I can't remember when it started
I only know that I would really like to see you again
Oh yeah, to see you again, oh yeah

do do do...

I know you're going with someone new
I'm not for gettin' in the middle
But when you're free you know
I'd really like to see you again, oh yeah
Do you think about what we had
And don't you miss me just a little?
And when you're free, you know, I'd really like to see you again
Oh yeah, to see you again, oh whoa whoa whoa

When I said goodbye and I made you cry
I was crazy!
Now I'm on my knees, begging baby please
Won't you save me, maybe I'm crazy
But I'd really like to see you again

Oh yeah, I'd like to see you again
Oh yeah, I'd like to see you again
Mhm, I'd like to see you again
Oh yeah, I'd like to see you again
Oh yeah, I'd like to see you again
(Really, really like to see you again)

Baby, I'm crazy, but I'd really like to see you, see you again
(See you)
