This song came out of the same '91 love disaster that birthed "I've Lost Everything," but at least here I haven't totally succumbed to self-pity. It was a fun tune to play live with Wigsaw. Jonno Deily once again covers bass, drums, and backing vocals, and Jeremy Woodruff blows a mean bari sax.
lyrics
I just wanna say it to you, just wanna say it to you
Just wanna say it, just wanna say it
I just wanna say it to you
I only wanna be with you, only wanna be with you
Only wanna be with, only wanna be with
I only wanna be with you
I’m thinking all the time of you, thinking all the time of you
If I keep on thinking, who knows what’ll happen
I only wanna be with you
I just wanna say it to you, just wanna say it to you
Just wanna say it, just wanna say it
I only wanna be with you
Every night, every night
I conjure you up, conjure you up
Every night, every night
I conjure you up, conjure you up
Can’t you see how I’m looking, feel how I’m feeling
Can’t you see how I’m looking, feel how I’m feeling
Can’t you guess what I’m thinking, guess what I’m thinking
You gotta know
I wanna hear me say it to you, wanna hear me say it to you
Wanna hear me say it, wanna hear me say it
To you
Won’t you listen when I’m talking to you, listen when I’m talking to you
Listen when I’m talking, listen when I’m talking
Listen when I’m talking to you
I want you a little closer to me, just a little closer to me
Just a little closer, just a little closer
I want you closer to me
I want you right next to me, want you right next to me
Come in, come in, can’t you feel me tremble
I only wanna be with you
Come to me now, come to me now
Hold me now, hold me now
Come to me now, come to me now
Hold me now, hold me now
Can’t you see how I’m looking, feel how I’m feeling
Can’t you see how I’m looking, feel how I’m feeling
Can’t you guess what I’m thinking, guess what I’m thinking
You gotta know
I just wanna say it to you, just wanna say it to you
I’ve been holding it in so long, holding it in so long
I just gotta say it to you
Give me a chance to say it to you, give me a chance to say it to you
Just give me a chance, just give me a chance
Just give me a chance to say it to you
Can’t you see how I’m looking, feel how I’m feeling
Can’t you see how I’m looking, feel how I’m feeling
Can’t you guess what I’m thinking, guess what I’m thinking
You gotta know
