I Wanna Be
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
It's so much easier to run away
My mind is telling my body so
Never know which way to go
I'm always there for you baby
You let me see
If we can get closer everyday
I wanna be
Held by you
I wanna be
Touched by you
I wanna be
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be
Anything you want me to
Don't mean nothing when you're growing old
Nobody knows what the future holds
I am left with a bitter taste
Turn away from that beautiful chase
I'm always there for you baby
You let me see
If we can get closer everyday
I wanna be
Held by you
I wanna be
Touched by you
I wanna be
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be
Anything you want me to
