Lyrics

When I saw you stand ing there

I ’bout fell off my (Cm)chair

and when you moved your mouth to (Eb)speak

I felt the blood go to my (Bb)feet.

You told your self for years a go

you’d nev er let your feel ings (Cm)show,

the ob li ga tion that you (Eb)made

I for the ti tle that they gave.

Ba by,

I’d love you to want me

the way that I want you,

the way that it (Bb)should be.

Ba by,

you’d love me to want you

the way that I want to

if you’d (F)on ly let it be.

Now it took time for me to know

you’d what you tried so not to (Cm)show,

the some thing in my soul just (Eb)cries

I see the want in your blue eyes.

Ba by,

I’d love you to want me

the way that I want you,

the way that it (Bb)should be.

Ba by,

you’d love me to want you

the way that I want to

if you’d (F)on ly let it be.

(F)on ly let it be.

(F)on ly let it be.

Oh.

Ba by,

I’d love you to want me

the way that I want you,

the way that it should be.

Ba by,

you’d love me to want you

the way that I want to,

if you’d (F)on ly let it be.

Ba by,

I’d love you to want me

the way that I want you,

the way that it should be.

Ba by,

you’d love me to want you

the way that I want to,

if you’d (F)on ly let it be.

(F)on ly let it (Bb)be.
