"I Want You So Bad" — the blues man at maximum desire.
Have you ever wanted someone
And you thought they didn't want you
Have you ever, ever wanted someone
And you thought they didn't want you
You know what you wanted
To say to them, people
But you were afraid she may walk away
Someone like you, baby
Someone like you I ain't never had
Oh someone, someone like you
Someone like you I ain't never had
Maybe I'm asking too much, baby
Oh but I want you, I want you so bad
Oh you look so good to me, baby
Baby, I just got to let you know
Yeah, you look so good
So good to me, baby
I just got to let you know
I wanna keep you forever, baby
I don't wanna ever let you go
So whatever you do, baby
Please leave me a way
To get in touch with you
Oh whatever, ever you do, baby
Please leave me a way
To get in touch with you
I need you so bad, baby
When you leave I'll be so sad
