Strange That I Want You

Strange that I want you more than I need you

It's strange that I feel this way now



Well you live each day with nothing but freedom

You don't want to change

Are you scared that you'll please me

You should try to understand

Not giving in don't make a man



Strange that I want you more than I need you

It's strange that I feel this way now



I don't want to stay in one place forever

You've got a chance, we could leave here together

Now I know you understand that you grab life with both hands



Strange that I want you more than I need you

It's strange that I feel this way now



You still live each day with nothing but freedom

No you haven't changed, changed just to please me

And I know you understand not giving in don't make a man



Strange that I want you more than I need you

It's strange that I feel this way now

Strange that I love you more than I want to

It's strange that I feel this way now

Strange that I want you more than I need you

It's strange that I feel this way now
