And I love you because I want to
Not because you give me anything I need
Or for anything you think you could give to me
Because I want to, and that’s all, I want to

And I loved you because I wanted to
Not because you’ve given me what I’ve needed
Can’t say you ever did, just thought you would
Can’t say you wanted to, just hoped you would

And I love you because I want to
Not for anything you think you could give to me
Things that I could get myself for free
Or things that I only want if you really love me

And I loved you because I wanted to
Because I wanted to, and that’s all, I wanted to
Want you, feel you, … dream you, hold you
But not need to, not need to, not need you

And I loved you because I wanted to
And when I want to, it will simply stop
But that’s not the way it is I’m over the top
And I love you because it was so easy to
