Well, I want you to want me.
Yeah, I need you to need me.
I'd love you to love me.
Hey, I'm beggin' you to beg me.

Yeah, I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
Yeah, I'd love you to love me.

I'll shine up the old brown shoes,
Put on a brand new shirt.
I'll get home early from work
If you'll say that you love me.

Oh, didn't I, didn't I,
Didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I,
Didn't I hear you cryin'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend,
You know you feel like dyin'.
Oh, didn't I, didn't I,
Didn't I hear you cryin'?

Well, I want you to want me.
Yeah, I need you to need me.
I'd love you to love me.
Hey, I'm beggin' you to beg me.

I'll shine up the old brown shoes,
Put on a brand new shirt.
I'll get home early from work
If you'll say that you love me.

Oh, didn't I, didn't I,
Didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I,
Didn't I hear you cryin'?
Yep, feelin' all alone without a friend,
You know you feel like dyin'.
Oh, didn't I, didn't I,
Didn't I hear you cryin'?

[Instrumental]

I'll shine up the old brown shoes,
Put on a brand new shirt.
I'll get home early from work
If you'll say that you love me.

Oh, didn't I, didn't I,
Didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I,
Didn't I hear you cryin'?
Yep, feelin' all alone without friend,
You know you feel like dyin'.
Oh, didn't I, didn't I,
Didn't I hear you cryin'?

Well, I want you to want me.
Yeah, I need you to need me.
I'd love you to love me.
Whoa, I want you to want me.
