I Want You Lyrics


Once the love was strong
Now it's long, long gone
Cause the pain came down like the storm
I remained holdin' onCause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want youI've been thinkin bout, I've been thinkin bout
I've been thinkin bout you lately
Thoughts take me to when we were close
Addicted to your love, feel I need another doseI know it's a feelin that should be long gone
Things seem to come up when I hear our song
Golden brown girl, it seemed so long
Since I heard your voice, where did the king go wrong?Emotions th-th-they linger on
I guess cause I never knew a love so strong
So many hot girls, I need your warm
The taste of your mouth, girl I need your warmGood food and love, I need your warm
This here was made before we were born
A dreamer so I'm a keep dreamin' on
It's kinda like 'The Breakup' with Jen and Vince VaughnOnce the love was strong
Now it's long, long gone

Cause the pain came down like the storm
I remained holdin' onCause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want you
Cause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want youThey say you don't kn-kn-know what you got
Til what you got is gone
Yeah I like such and such oh a lot
But the feelings not as strongWe were like two birds that were able to fly
I try to pick the right words to say to the sky
Some days I would try but wasn't able to cry
I never been good at sayin goodbyeI take a deep breath when the times is hard
When I reminisce over you, my God
I spent many years tryin to be the heartthrob
I guess it's only right that I got my heart robbedThe scent of a room that reminds me of you
A hint of perfume it reminds me of you
Take a look at the moon it reminds me of you
Hope the stars and the gods align me and youOnce the love was strong
Now it's long, long gone
Cause the pain came down like the storm
I remained holdin onCause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want you
Cause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want youWe do what we do and we do what we live
I love this way cause I got it as a kid
With so much to give from it I never hid
The love that I wrote on the mirror it got smearedMy friends say it was a change for the better
But I say, girl you changed my forever
Relationships they can be as strange as the weather
Rain or sun we can sing this togetherCause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want you
Cause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want youThe Chicago & Kansas concert in Boston has been changed
To the Kansas & Boston concert in Chicago

Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. (born March 13, 1972 in Chicago, Illinois), better known by his stage name Common (previously Common Sense), is a Grammy award winning rapper, author and actor known for lyrics that focus on love and spirituality. Signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music, many people describe him as being a conscious hip hop artist who makes songs that send a message. He debuted in 1992 with the album Can I Borrow a Dollar? and maintained a significant underground following into the late 90s, after which he gained notable mainstream success through his work with the soulquarians.

As well as music, Common has worked as an actor, on the films 'Smokin' Aces' (as Sir Ivy) 'American Gangster' (as Turner Lucas) and 'Wanted'. He may also be seen in cameo roles in films such as 'Brown Sugar'.

His debut was the 1992 album Can I Borrow A Dollar, but he achieved little critical or commercial success until 1994's Resurrection, an instant classic. He produced several more albums, notably Like Water For Chocolate and the highly experimental Electric Circus, before releasing the Kanye West and J Dilla-produced Be in 2005, which was his first album to receive widespread mainstream appeal and radio playtime.

Common is considered a "cred" artist, which has lead him to collaborations with the likes of De La Soul, Jadakiss, T.i, Talib Kweli, The Roots, Kanye West, Lily Allen, Erykah Badu, and Fort Minor.

2007's Finding Forever was produced mainly by long-time collaborator, Kanye West.

Universal Mind Control is the 8th album from Chicago hip-hop artist Common.
