I Just Wanna Lyrics
[Verse 1: Eric Nam]
When I first walked in the room, I saw your face
Baby girl, I was so amazed
I caught you smiling back at me
But I didn’t know what to say
[Verse 2: Amber, Eric Nam]
Hey now baby boy (Yeah yeah)
Don’t you know? (Yeah yeah)
I’m ready for you, you, you
Now boy, what you’re gonna do?
[Pre-Chorus: Eric Nam, Amber]
‘Cause I know you the world I been searching for
I know with you my life means more
I wish I could say these things to you
Call me baby boy, let me listen to you
[Chorus: Both]
I just wanna love you
Give me that chance, wanna hold you
Baby you know that I need you, I need you
And I’m wondering all the time
If you love me
Come on over get to know me
Baby ’cause I know you need me, you need me
And I want you in my life, yeah yeah
[Bridge: Amber]
Hey, hey, yeah
[Verse 3: Amber]
Caught to the chase, we don’t gotta play no games
The beating of my heart, just tell me if you feel the same
This feeling is true, yo we gotta play it cool
I’ve been searching all my life, baby boy I know it’s you
[Pre-Chorus: Eric Nam, Amber]
‘Cause I know you the world I been searching for
I know with you my life means more
I wish I could say these things to you
Now call me baby boy, let me listen to you
[Chorus: Both]
I just wanna love you
Give me that chance, wanna hold you
Baby you know that I need you, I need you
And I’m wondering all the time
If you love me
Come on over get to know me
Baby ’cause I know you need me, you need me
And I want you in my life
[Bridge: Eric Nam, Amber, Both]
You make me go oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
I don’t wanna be alone no more
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Without you I feel so cold, yeah
‘Cause days without you, they don’t feel the same
Now I see, just you and me
Baby you make everything complete!
[Chorus: Both, Eric Nam, Amber]
I just wanna love you
Give me that chance, wanna hold you (yeah)
Baby you know that I need you, I need you
And I’m wondering all the time, yeah yeah yeah (wondering all the time)
If you love me
Come on over get to know me (get to know, know me) (come on over)
Baby ’cause I know you need me, you need me (’cause I need you)
And I want you in my life (want you in my life, yeah yeah)
I just wanna love you (I want you in my life, yeah yeah, yeah)
Give me that chance, wanna hold you
