I wanna be with you

Chris Rea · Other Songs - Chris Rea

I just wanna be with you

No matter what they say

Just wanna be with you

Every night and every day

Cold nights, dark days

I wanna be with you



I just wanna be with you

Till the final curtain falls

Just wanna be with you

Then know nothing at all

Cold nights, dark days

I wanna be with you

Wanna be with you



I know there's a price to pay

For doing what we do

But I just wanna be with you

Just wanna be with you



Don't wanna hold you down

Whatever that you do

Shine on, sweet angel

'Cos I just wanna be with you

I wanna be with you

I wanna be with you
