I Want You Lyrics


It's crazy how your heart just has a mind of it's own, yeah, yeah
Like when it smiled and makes the choice on it's own, mhm
Well the funny thing about this heart of mine
It knows what it wants
But see the crazy thing is
My mind tries to deny it
But girl I can't fight what I know, I know
I Want You baby, you
I want you baby, you

Before I met you girl I never knew my heart could dance, hey, hey
Yeah, listen
I was just a broken record of one night stands
Until you came along, with your beautiful song
You saved me, you saved me, you saved me
And now the funny thing about it
There's no melody without it
I found music when I found you
So hear me when I say
I want you baby, you
I want you baby, you

See I've waited all my life
For someone like you, someone like you, whoa
And nobody, nobody, nobody else will do
Because I want you baby, you
I want you baby, you, you
Hey, yeah, you baby, yeah
I want you, I want you, nobody but you baby
Yeah, baby you, nobody but you girl, you
I want you baby, nobody but you
Nobody but you
I want you, baby
I want you, I want you

I Want You Song Chart
  • Luke James began his musical career at high school as a member of a R&B trio named Upskale with friends Quinten Spears (known as Q) and Tah. The threesome appeared in Destiny's Child's "Soldier" video but split after graduating. Q and James later formed a duo called not unreasonably Luke & Q. The pair sung background for R&B artist Tyrese but disbanded after not gaining much recognition.

    James began to craft his skills as a songwriter, co-penning tunes such as Britney Spears' "Kill the Lights," Chris Brown's "Crawl" and Justin Bieber's "That Should Be Me." Beyoncé remembered the New Orleans born singer-songwriter part in Destiny's Child's visual and she personally chose him appear as a model/actor in her "Run the World (Girls)" music video.
  • This is the first single from James' debut EP #Luke, which was released as a free digital download. He told The Boombox about the song's inspiration. "I was a dirtbag and I had an epiphany and I realized that this girl that I had been treating bad or just not giving her what she needed," he admitted. "I realized I really wanted to give her what she needs and love her and want to be with her."
  • The song received universal acclaim from critics and it earned James a Best R&B Performance nomination at the 2012 Grammy Awards. (He lost to Usher's "Climax").
