I Want You

About I Want You

"I Want You" is a song written by songwriters Leon Ware and Arthur "T-Boy" Ross and performed by singer Marvin Gaye. It was released as a single in 1976 on his fourteenth studio album of the same name on the Tamla label. The song introduced a change in musical styles for Gaye, who before then had been recording songs with a funk edge. Songs such as this gave him a disco audience thanks to Ware, who produced the song alongside Gaye. The song also stood to be one of Marvin's most popular singles during his later Motown period followed by his sabbatical following the release of 1973's Let's Get It On. The song eventually reached number fifteen on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Hot Selling Soul Singles chart. It also became a disco hit, reaching number ten on the Disco Singles Chart alongside "After the Dance". more »

I want you, the right way
I want you 
But I want you to want me, too
Want you to want me baby
Just like I want you

Oh, I'll give you all the love
I want in return, sweet darling
But half the love is all I feel
Ooh, it's too bad it's just too sad
You don't want me now
But I'm gonna change your mind
Someway, somehow, aw baby

I want you, the right way
I want you 
But I want you to want me, too
Want you to want me baby
Just like I want you

One way love is just a fantasy
To share is precious, pure and fair
Don't play with somethin'
You should cherish for life, oh baby
Don't you want to care
Ain't it lonely out there

I want you, the right way
I want you 
But I want you to want me too
Want you to want me baby
Just like I want you

I want you, the right way
I want you 
But I want you to want me too
Want you to want me baby
Just like I want you
