You Make Me Wanna

“you make me wanna leave the one I’m wit,
start a new relationship wit you”

yeah that’s what Usher said
but how about you make me wanna go get one
to be with
that don’t wanna be with me
and then I wanna meet you
just so I can see what I’m missing
and start listening to Usher sing
and have second thoughts
and leave the one I’m with
to start a new relationship with you

you make me wanna
walk 10 blocks outta my way
to see this or that
or nothing at all
just because you think I should

you make me wanna lay and play
and talk and not talk
and kiss and hug all day
“erryday”

you make me wanna
get my mind right and get my soul right
so your spirit will have a soft place to be right
you make me wanna
love the one I’m with
and not settle for less
and soak up some bliss
with you and in you and for you and thru you

you make me wanna
feed you and drink you
give you massages
and read you passages from my favorite books
cook for you
and grow old with you
sing you corny songs
and spend rainy days outside with you

“you make me wanna leave the one I’m wit,
start a new relationship wit you”

yeah that’s what Usher said
but how about you make me wanna go get one
that don’t want me not really
and then I wanna meet you
just so I can see what I’m missing
and start listening to Usher sing
and have second thoughts
and leave the one I’m with
to start a new relationship with you

you make we wanna
cry over you and fight with you
and make up with you
all night

you make me wanna
comfort you
and take care of you
give you strength when you feel weak
hold your secrets under lock and key
you make me wanna
give you my heart

you make me wanna start a “new” relationship
with myself
so my “me” time is our time
and our meantime
is all the time

you make me wanna
play you the video that is my life
then erase it and begin again with you as my co-star
rewrite the credits
and give them all to you
put on a show
for today
for tomorrow
forever

you make me wanna
call you all the time
call you my sunshine
my light
my earth
my center
my gravitational pull
my universe

“you make me wanna leave the one I’m wit,
start a new relationship wit you”

yeah that’s what Usher said
but how about you make me wanna go get one
that don’t want me not really
and then I wanna meet you
just so I can see what I’m missing
and start listening to Usher sing
and have second thoughts
and leave the one I’m with
to start a new relationship with you
