LL Cool J — I Want You

[Intro] Look girl, I'm not gonna sing 'Cause I just don't do that [Verse 1] I see you in between class and my mind skips a task One glimpse of your eyes and my heart beats fast A mysterious fantasy, lovely young queen Your pose so subtle, just like a magazine Come and visit my sister, sit in the livin' room Eat doughnuts and milk, listen to a pop tune Used to be my babysitter, I want you for my woman Without you girl, my life is bitter like a lemon I want you I want you [Verse 2] I daydream love scenes, girl, when you pass by I wonder what the future holds for you and I I tell my friends fairytales about me and you My total devotion for you is true See you on the bus, I trip as I get on My body gets warm but my mind is torn I admit you’re the queen of elegance Maybe I’m just another puppy love nuisance I will tell you straight up, not cologne on a letter Opportunity knocks, I feel I just better Disappear outta sight, rejection is my fright To me you’re like a drug, boy, a hazy red light I want you I want you [Verse 3] Too weak, I can’t speak, I’m messin' up in school Just to hear your name girl, it makes me drool As you sing falsetto on the college choir My temperature level grows much higher Spend the night over my house with my sister and friends I wish you wouldn’t treat me like I’m your cousin Your high school yearbook under my pillow You walk by my window, I see your silhouette Candlelight is what I desire But all I get to do is fix your flat tire When you ring my bell, perfume I smell The aroma pierces through my heart’s shell I tell you that my sister isn’t here today You go away, but I wish you’d stay Yes, girl, I’m twisted around your finger When you leave, your perfume lingers I want you I want you [Verse 4] The clock tick-tocks as I lay in my bed It’s visions of you circling through my head I sip lemon ice tea, read a magazine Wish we were involved in a steamy love scene Saturday night, it’s time to party, y'all But an unseen force has my back on the wall All eyes hit the door, red dress shines loud The moment has come, my fantasy’s here now You sip gin and tonic with the double hole straw Finally I get the nerve to buy you one more The bartender smirks, I whisper “He’s a jerk” I’m wearin' leather pants and a thirty dollar shirt Offer you some Double-Mints, sit back, crack a smile Try to act like I’m relaxed and not a child You see I’m sixteen and you’re in college Lovely sweet thing please give me the knowledge I want you I want you [Verse 5] See, it’s easy to detect a line that’s preset What you don’t know is you’re the woman I’ve wanted to get For years and now I’m here, sweet dear Cool as the snow under a polar bear I light your cigarette with the Raphael lighter Your dress seems like its gettin' tighter and tighter The ice cubes melt, the heat is felt The card’s on the table and my deal is dealt I want you [Verse 6] I had to search through my soul, cowardice kept a hold on me As the key was analyzin' my role As a man to instigate romance Not break down and cry when you ask for a dance Some fellas talk to her and she walks by She can only say no it's not do or die like Bed-Stuy It’s nature’s way A sweet love story from LL Cool J I want you I want you
