Want You
Z2 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feel like things are goin
And then there gone
Your like a maze, I can't get through
Should I go left? Should I go right?
Should I let you stay for the night?
It's like a see-saw when it comes to your love
Boy when your up, this girl is down
And I just can't figure it out

'Cause you know that I want you
(Yeah)
And you know that I need you
(Yeah)
Is that anyway to be?
Just have your way with me
My body is cryin' and
(Yeah)
These tears can you wipe them?
(Yeah)
Is that anyway to be?
Just have your way with me

I'm going out with guys
That I don't wanna go
To places that I been before
(They pitching the same game)
Ha, boy it's a damn shame
(How I wish it was you)
Callin' me
(I want it to be you)
Holdin' me
(Boy it needs to be you)
Kissin' me-e

'Cause it's like a see-saw
When it comes to your love
Boy when your up
This girl is down
And I just can't
Figure it out

'Cause you know that I want you
(Yeah)
And you know that I need you
(Yeah)
Is that anyway to be?
Just have your way with me
My body is cryin' and
(Yeah)
These tears can you wipe them?
(Yeah)
Is that anyway to be?
Just have your way with me

Listen

(Have your way with me)
Have your way with me
(Anytime or anywhere, have me)
(However I don't care)
(Have your way with me)
(I'll be your everything tonight)
(Boy tonight)
Tonight
(Boy tonight)
Oooh ahhh

'Cause you know that I want you
(Yeah)
And you know that I need you
(Yeah)
Is that anyway to be?
Just have your way with me
My body is cryin' and
(Yeah)
These tears can you wipe them?
(Yeah)




Is that anyway to be?
Just have your way with me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Z2's "I Want You" describe the internal conflicts of the singer who is in love with someone who is unpredictable and confusing. The singer feels like they cannot get through to the person, who is like a maze, with uncertain actions that leave her uncertain about how to respond. She is caught between wanting to be with them and feeling hurt when they are not reciprocating her feelings.


The song also brings out the tension between what the singer wants and what the other person wants. She is going out with people she doesn't want to, but they are not the person she wants. The see-saw metaphor used motivates the idea that their relationship is not balanced, leading to the conflicting emotions experienced by the singer.


The repetitive refrain of "you know that I want you" and the pleading tone with which it is sung further highlight the intensity of the singer's emotions. She is willing to let the other person have their way with her, just to be close to them, which shows the extent of her love.


Overall, "I want you" is a heartfelt song that speaks to the struggles of love and relationships, the uncertainty and unpredictability that can come with such emotions.
