Want U To Want Me

[Intro: Von Pea]

Yo, mic check

You know who you are

[Verse 1: Von Pea]

No, I ain't write this for the radio either

I wrote this for a diva

Not miss Labelle, Mariah or Aretha

Fellas, you ever get that one chick and feel like you need her?

Best feeling in the world, right?

Right up until she gone and you back alone all night

Nobody to call or ask if they alright

Playin' with her like you wanna put her in all-white

But you can't, cause it ain't all tight - double meaning

She got meaner

Last month you seen her

Though she was nice, you ain't tryin' to search

So you just take the L, it could've been worse

But in the back of your mind, she could've been earth

[Chorus]

(I want you to want me, want me, too)

If you want me, here I am

(I want you to want me, want me, too)

If you want me, here I am

(I want you to want me, want me, too)

If you want me, here I am

(I want you to want me, want me, too)

If you want me, here I am

[Verse 2: Ilyas]

I want you to want me

Your image haunts me

Am I obsessed?

This damsel got me in distress

I'm just a man in the flesh that's weak and

Hers was so soft

I feel so lost without her

Doubted her

In public wasn't proud of her

Broke at the bar tryin' to get a drink out of her

Lie to her

Thought what she don't know won't bother her

But could it? Should it? She ain't my wifey

So I'd shout at her

Said I'm being distant, said I felt like I was crowding her

That was an excuse, though

I met a new ho

But now that her

And me ain't together

Been a lot of rainy weather

Should've tied the knot with her

Many nights I'd rock with her

Cussing and moaning

Then I'd like to talk with her

Up until the morning

But now she's gone and our love is extinct

And all I can think is how I should've spent my life with her

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Donwill]

Said you wasn't looking for it

But I made you want it

Can't see the forest for the trees

We kept on walking

Destination unknown

Just to make it back home

No idea where I'm leading but we're moving towards it

I'm trying to heal a broken heart

Prescribed you for sorts

Thoughts of me being your baby in your mind aborted

Distorted your view

Of what a man's supposed to do

To get to hold you for you

The game I have to forfeit

Late night

You playing like me laying with you ain't right

Take life serious, for real you could've made wife

You still could, though

We still good, yo

Both dealing with our feeling's understood so

I might see a pretty face and spend a little time but

By the end of the day it's you that's on my mind, what

What I'm trying to say is that

I, I, I, I, I want you to want me

Like I want you to want me

Like I want you to want me

Like I want you

[Chorus]
