Vandross, Luther - I Know You Want To Lyrics






If only I could read your mind
I could heal your broken heart
I could mend you when your falling apart

I wanna love you
I wanna care
But there's not a thing that I can do
Not until you say that you want me there
And that you want me to love you forever
I know it's what you want
Though it's easy to say that you don't

[Chorus:]
I know you want to
Girl I know you want to
I am not ashamed to say to you
(You're all I ever wanted)
I know you want to
Girl, I know you want to
So turn around
Come to me now
Is it worth it all if there's no love

No.no no no no love...

I hear your heartbeat
I feel you shiver
And in the stilness of the night
(I can hear the angels saying to me)
She wants to love you
She wants to care
But she's so afarid of a broken heart
(She's afraid to dall0
Will someone be there

We'll I'll pick you up and put you together
I know it; s what you want
Though you constanly say that you don't

[Chorus:]
I know you want to
Girl I know you want to
I am not ashamed to say to you
(You're all I ever wanted)
I know you want to
Girl, I know you want to
So turn around
Come to me now
Is it worth it all if there's no love

[Bridge:]
Do you spend every moment
Trying to hide out
From the way you know you truly feel
And is it really real... you know
How can you keep denying
That you really love me
You can try to fool somebody else
But your lying to yourself

[Chorus:]
I know you want to
Girl I know you want to
I am not ashamed to say to you
(You're all I ever wanted)
I know you want to
Girl, I know you want to
So turn around
Come to me now
Is it worth it all if there's no love

No love
No love doo doo do doo
Yeah...

Vandross, Luther I Know You Want To Comments
  1. T.... M....

    I have this album on vinyl and cd full album is brilliant

  2. T.... M....

    Luther was a soul singer and the best out there no one will ever take his place I love Luther just listening to his songs and albums means the world to me R.I.P Luther no one will ever make a song more powerful than yours

  3. K.... M....

    The last, great Male R&B singer: LUTHER VANDROSS.   Have loved this song since first hearing it in 1988. 

  4. S.... W....

    This is another man I'm always missing, Love you Luther!!

  5. K.... _....

    من اجمل الاغاني في حياتي ابداع

  6. s.... ....

    I understood that from your first comment. What I was saying is that usually, when a black r&b artist or their music crosses over to white audiences, the music industry labels it pop. Then, the public starts to do the same. However, just because white audiences listen to or buy r&b music, does not make it "pop".

  7. �.... ....

    d| ´ω` |b ~🎶

  8. 3.... ....

    Note I put the word "pop" in quotes. Maybe I should make it plainer -- this was the second album White people paid attention to.

  9. s.... ....

    Luther never made any "pop" albums. This and his "Give Me the Reason" albums were both R&B, as were all his albums. Its just that they crossed over to white audiences. Some mistakenly call R&B pop when it crosses over.

  10. M.... T....

    I know you too WOW!! that's all i can say luther1

  11. p.... ....

    I'm not ashame to say to you, you're all I've ever wanted.... This man tell it like is.

  12. 3.... ....

    Happy Birthday, Luther. You would have been 60 today and we're STILL missing you -- and the music...

  13. a.... ....

    I just bought this vinyl, but I don't want to play it too much, so I'm listening to it on YT!

  14. L.... L....

    @mrtyroneb I agree with you 100% on that. There are so many songs that Luther did that never got the air play they deserved due to mainstream kiddie music and not real music as this man put out. I have every single album (vinyl, cassette, cd's and video dvd's) that Luther has ever put out & to be totally honest.......there really hasn't been a "Greatest hits" cd for this man. If a REAL one was ever made it would take atleast 2 days to hear all of the greatest since Luther never sang a bad note!

  15. L.... L....

    Once in a lifetime someone comes along that has the gift 2 change peoples lives. Luther Vandross, "THE VOICE", did exactly that 4 me. I have an anxiety disorder that literally kept me in my house for 2 years & would hav BAD panic attacks. But with Luther.....he made all that change. All I had 2 do was listen 2 Luther & his music would calm me so when he sang "I can make it better" He really did for me. Thank you Luther! No one did it better and to me...no one ever will!! Rest peacefully Luther

  16. P.... M....

    Was 12 when this came out. One of his best albums along with 'Give Me The Reason' and 'Never Too Much'.

  17. s.... r....

    I still have this record (Vinyl!)..one of Luther's best album ..every single song is well written from lyrics to instruments...add his voice= pure magic!

    Thank you !

  18. G.... S....

    thanks for posting it

  19. 3.... ....

    @TheCaulfield1 Sorry your first post didn't show up immediately...I approve posts to weed out spam ;)

  20. D.... ....

    I bought this on cassette back in 88 and still play it to this day.
    Another gem from this legend XX

  21. s.... ....

    great song..

  22. O.... G....

    love this man's songs!

  23. p.... ....

    What a beautiful song and what a very talented and beautiful person.

  24. p.... ....

    Damn I love Luther's music!

  25. m.... ....

    @38106chick .....They certainly do! One would have to be a true Luther head (like us) to have even known this song existed..lol

  26. 3.... ....

    @mrtyroneb Thanks...people forget about the hits the radio doesn't play =]

  27. m.... ....

    @markbensonhyde I agree!! A fan of Luther is a friend of mine!! Bless you for uploading this song!!

  28. m.... ....

    You get much respect for posting the lesser-known ballads!!! This is simply one of the most beautiful songs Luther recorded. Thanks so much!

    This song is so underrated and its one of Luther's best

  30. 3.... ....

  31. n.... ....

    Luther Vandross is the man ...for all love songs y'all

  32. n.... ....

  34. l.... ....

    I love this song. I knew what these words meant before I was 10!

  35. M.... J....

    'I'm not ashamed to say to you you're all I've ever wanted'... Songwriters writing from life experience, not just to make a buck.

  36. 3.... ....

  42. s.... ....

    agree...love this tune. Any Love is a classic album.

  43. K.... M....

    It's songs like this one that made me a diehard Luther Vandross fan back in the 1980s. I've loved this song ever since I first heard it in '88, when I was living in the West Indies.

  44. 3.... ....

    I have to be honest, SnowyAnne -- I was surprised this wasn't up already myself!

  45. S.... ....

    OH MY GOD!!!!!! Finally! Thankyou for uploading this tune......you have saved me the trouble as i noticed a while ago it had not been uploaded and was gutted as its one of Luthers best! I love this soooooo much, its a beautiful song! Thanks for a clear version too as it would have been gutting to hear a cack one lol. Such a loss to the music industry. I was brought listening to Luther and think he is a legend!

  46. 3.... ....

    Amen!!!!
