I Don't Want To Own You (I Just Want To Love You)

Supremes · This Is The Story: The '70s Albums, Vol.1 - 1970-1973 [2006]

[Chorus:]

I don't want to own you

I just want to love you

I don't want to own you

I just want to love you



You're lost, out on your own

Like a pup without a home

You need these arms of mine to shelter you (shelter you)

If you just let yourself

Here with needing someone else

Your life with me will be your every need (every need)



You'll say you've got to find

Some kind of peace of mind

And I'll pray you do

'Cause it's so hard for me

Waiting 'till your eyes can see

That you need me, you need me



[Chorus]



Your touch upon my cheek

Each take the words you speak

These precious things that keeps me hangin' on (hangin' on)

But deep inside I know

From the time you'll go

Back out that door and out my life once more



You'll say you've got to find

Some kind of peace of mind

And I'll pray you do

'Cause it's so hard for me

Waiting 'till your eyes can see

That you need me, you need me



Back in my solitude

I say a prayer for you

That you may come to me

Come to me



[Interlude]



[Repeat Chorus 'till fade]
