I Wanted You
Trinere Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got your call at half-past nine
And I know if you'd come over
We could have a real good time
To hear your voice brings back memories,
Of you and I together lost in esctasy

But still I must be strong, I got to hold on,
Gotta say no to you and all the things you do

See I can't give in, I can't let you win,
Babe I just can't see you again
You know I...
I wanted you tonight, but you won't do me right
I wanted you tonight, to touch me, hold me,
Squeeze me all through the night

I tell myself I could find someone new
I could search the whole world over
And never find a love like you
My love will never, ever die
But I can't see my forever in your lying eyes

But still I must be strong, I got to hold on,
Gotta say no to you and all the things you do
See I can't give in, I can't let you win
Cause you'll wind up breaking my heart again, you know I...

I wanted you tonight, but you won't do me right
I wanted you tonight, to touch me, hold me,
Squeeze me all through the night
You're sweet as can be, but you keep hurting me

Give me one more chance my dear
Cause losing your tender love I fear
And I'm walking around in a daze
Like a paperback turn me back to the next page
Let me know can I get next to you tonight
So I can rub your body right

And whisper in your ear livin's getting busy
And we're kickin' it with Trinere
