Dwight Yoakam - I Want You To Want Me Lyrics






I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm beggin' you to beg me

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand new shirt
I'll get home early from work if you say that you love me

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm beggin' you to beg me
I'll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand new shirt
I'll get home early from work if you say that you love me

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?

[Solo]

I'll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand new shirt
I'll get home early from work if you say that you love me
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I want you to want me

  11. I.... W....

    That pedal steel intro..

  12. K.... P....

    I prefer Cheap Trick's live version, but this isn't bad!

  13. P.... P....

    One of my favorite for sure.

  14. P.... P....

    The song says it all lol.

  15. T.... P....

    If Dwight Yoakam and/or Weird Al Yankovic covers or parodies your song, you have made it in the music business!

  16. J.... F....

    Wow he's so darn cute.

  17. M.... ....

    His voice is so amazing that I never have enough of it. Dwight is so talented.

  18. T.... B....

    Dwight knows how to pick'em

  21. V.... E....

    Sure a stupid intro. great song though. DO YOU>

  22. m.... j....

    milf mmmmm

  23. P.... ....

    What's with "I'll shine up your brown shoes"? That's not the original lyric, nor does it make any sense.

  24. B.... R....

    I Do, Dwight!!!

  25. T.... M....

    Best shaped hat in the business. My Stetson Silverbelly needs work.

  26. B.... W....

    Love to hear is take on Cheap Trick's, "Voices".

  27. M.... S....

    This particular song by Cheap trick is the perfect song to convert into country style. Dwight performs it like he wrote it.

    M.... S....

    You are so right.
    I searched for 10 minutes before finding out it was not his.

  28. H.... D....

    This is terrible.

  29. s.... t....

    He is the last of true country music. Nashville is looking for cookie cutters and they have hundreds if not thousands of them.

  30. B.... E....

    I love it the way he gently touches this 🍁🍄🌷🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🌻girl !!!!!!!!!!!!!💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌸🌛🌸🌛🌛🌛🌛🌸🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🌷

  31. L.... R....

    yep, another one of the sexiest songs/performance ever!! thanks

  32. D.... T....

    No one like Dwight Yoakam.

  33. M.... B....

    OH OH WANT ME DARLIN!!!!

  34. C.... N....

    Cheap Trick who? Lol

  35. m.... j....

    uuuuu milffffffff

  36. L.... R....

    thanks, another icon song of mine!!!

  37. c.... l....

    This is the only country artist I can imagine who could cover Elvis, Queen, and Cheap Trick and kill all three. Excellent!

  38. L.... A....

    Howdy Dwight ! ❤ Ya know over on FB and Instagram I get countless friend requests by those saying their you. I just report and delete each one. Now if it's really you then just DM from your actual Verified accounts. Or sing me a song using my name.

  39. c.... b....

    I rekkon i took a sling blade upside his head

  40. R.... Q....

    I wanna play Twister with Dwight. ;)

  41. B.... G....

    I want to sing back up :)

  42. C.... D....

    I like it.......alot....

  43. N.... N....

    I take what I said back that’s worse than Roseann Barr’s national anthem

  44. N.... N....

    This is worse than Fergie singing the national anthem

  45. M.... B....

    OH OH OH!WOW.

  46. B.... E....

    Oh, you are the BEST.......everything you sing is SUPER!!!!!!

  47. B.... G....

    I love Cheap Trick. That having been said, I think this works better as a country song.

  48. K.... K....

    I love this

  49. M.... P....

    Mitch i want you to do what this song says i want the love you can give me and ill love you forever always my love remember i love you but miss you so much please come home to me soon call me on the phone today please love you love me

  52. A.... R....

    I want you to want me 💕💕💕💕

  53. r.... h....

    Yeah baby.... get your twister thing out !! MAINE USA

  54. J.... P....

    yep this shit sucks

  55. M.... M....

    Ohhhhh....didn't know that Dwight Yoakam had covered this song! I only know it from Chris Isaak's version. Both are really good.

    M.... M....

    I'd say Chris' version is based on Cheap Trick's live version.

  56. L.... B....

    Is that a 5 o' clock shadow on that DELICIOUS face???? This is a great video!! I'll bring out that twisty thing.... and what ever else you'd like... Sigh....

  57. P.... B....

    Jammin with Dwight this morning.

    I can't say I care for this version at all, but I commend him for at least trying to put his own spin on it.

  79. A.... R....

    Dwight is so cool💕💕💕

  80. S.... A....

    Dwight makes me think this song was always a country song. It's hard to imagine it being done any other way

  81. B.... G....

    Just dribbling mess xo

  82. J.... C....

    Cheap Trick's version was good, but this is really a country song, so Yoakam's version is classic--much better than the original--
    "I shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand new shirt, I git home early from work, ...if you say you love me."

  83. A.... R....

    I.want you to want me💕

  84. R.... G....

    Fuck, this guy is good, grew up on mexican conjunto and norteño music this sounds just like it. Nice remake.

  85. D.... S....

    Saddest,Song's of Song;s...Need...Loser.

  86. V.... G....

    I love this song and I like his 🎸 guitar 😍😘

  87. w.... ....

    Have to love DY's version, but come on people... Cheap Trick is the R&R HOF because of this song... Scoreboard...
    I do like the Bakersfield sound though... Those guys were pimps...

  88. R.... S....

    DWIGHT TWISTING A ""CHEAP TRICK"" LOLS

  89. D.... E....

    The best

  90. D.... _....

    cheap trick still did it better

  91. D.... W....

    Voice and pedal steel, fantastic.

  92. D.... ....

    I took my girls to 4 of Dwights concerts & we had so much fun. We love his music of this era, it was so 'bouncy' . there was no way we could stand or sit still. My daughter then took me to one of his concerts in Cleveland a few years ago & he had just gone TOO ROCK. But bring me the old Dwight & I would go see him again. Love that voice.

  93. M.... N....

    Leave it to cheap trick to sing, PLEASE!!!!

  94. B.... G....

    OMG he's got the lot

  95. D.... M....
