Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey
I love the night life, yes I do
It's so much fun
And before you know it, ah, here comes the sun
Sweet heart, it's been real but
The thrill is gone
[Verse 2]
And in silence it's like a spirit that picked my house to haunt
But I know it's there, so I'm nonchalant
Now the question is
Just what do I want?
[Verse 3]
Oh, I want you
To run away with me and experience something new
Anything you bought, any drug just won't do
I want you
[Verse 4]
Will a trip to a remote island ease your mind?
Oh, you look like a solitaire in the sunshine
I like her 'cause she's fun
She fearless
She's a friend of mine
[Verse 5]
Oh, and I'm not trying to say you need any help
You can have anything you want with your bad self
I like her 'cause she's smart
But she's still sexy
She is something else
[Verse 6]
Ooh, and that's why I want you
To run away with me and experience something new
Anything you bought, any drug just won't do
I want you
[Verse 7]
And I want you
To genuinely and sincerely want me too
You can believe in me, baby, don't be cruel
I want you
[Verse 8]
Oh, one rarely finds a lady that happens to be three times a lady
God is good, but he took his time when he designed you, baby
That's why I want you
And, oh, I'll even quit my job
Loving you, I'll make it my job
Thank you Lord, thank you Lord
This is it, my God
Thank you Lord
This is it, my God
[Verse 9]
Oh, that's why I want you
Oh, I want you
Sail away and experience something new
Any other drug just won't do
[Verse 10]
I want you
And I want you
To genuinely and sincerely want me too
You can believe in me, baby, don't be cruel
(I want you)
