McLaughlin, Jon - I Want You Anyway Lyrics






I gave up a long time ago
Trying to find love
TV told me it was like the movies
But it never was

I couldn't beat it or join it
So I just avoided it
Come what may
Then you came

And I wanna hold you in my arms
I wanna let you break my heart
I wanna feel the way it feels to make you stay

And I know you'll bring me to my knees
I know you're way out of my league
I know I can't afford the price I'm gonna pay
But I want you anyway

It's so self-betrayal of me
I'm about to say all the things
Swore I'd never say
But my heart's in my mind
Drawing lines I can't erase

And all of a sudden
All that wasn't
So beautifully is
When we kiss

And I wanna hold you in my arms
I wanna let you break my heart
I wanna feel the way it feels to make you stay

And I know you'll bring me to my knees
I know you're way out of my league
I know I can't afford the price I'm gonna pay
But I want you anyway

The way the light hangs off you
I never stood a chance
See you changed every plan I had with one glance

And I wanna hold you in my arms
I wanna let you break my heart
I wanna feel the way it feels to make you stay

And I know you'll bring me to my knees
I know you're way out of my league
I know I can't afford the price I'm gonna pay
But I want you anyway

    Well I like this girl but she likes someone else. Most of my friends knew it but I always tell them not to tell her because I dont want her to be awkward being with me knowing I like her. I even wrote almost a hundred poems for her and I let her read one of it.

    R.... O....

    I was a bird and she was the stars im looking up to

    R.... O....

    But even tho i try so damn hard to reach her i cant

    R.... O....

    When i thought i was already tired, but seeing her makes me try even more but still i cant

    R.... O....

    Because the moon is the only one that could reach her.. And that moon is him. The one she likes

    R.... O....

    Im just a highschool student so maybe this is just a puppy love then.. I should only let this be.. And wait until it goes away

    I'm not sure what the inspiration for this song was, but for me personally I can't help but think of my relationship with God (because I'm a Christian). I know there is no way I can ever be worthy enough for Him, but He loves me anyway.

  36. D.... T....

    Your passion for your music is evident in EVERY song I have heard you sing. But this one... is the BEST of your best. Thanks for making your music. It fills me up. Makes my soul smile.

    D.... T....

    very underrated. Your talent is real and earned. You are an inspiring musician, seem to be a dedicated father, and an adoring husband. You give ME and my family hope for the future of the American Dream... where hard work, talent, and dedication to your art is able to support your lovely family. But, best of all... that it allows you to be WITH your wife as much as possible... raising your daughters TOGETHER. Teaching your girls the value of FAMILY. That music is important. Your Art is important... But that you are always going to try to make it back home to Amy and to them, because THEY are the MOST important part of your life. Thank you, Jon McL, for the inspiration you are to all of us, who also choose that raising our families ... INSTEAD OF the pursuit of exorbitant wealth at ALL COSTS is the best for America.
