Someday (You'll Want Me To Want You)
Don Gibson · Other Songs - Don Gibson
When I'm in love with somebody else
You'll expect me to be true and to keep on loving you
Though I'm feeling blue
You'd think I can't forget you.
Until someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm strong for somebody new
And though you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't, won't want you.
Until someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm strong for somebody new
Although you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't, I won't want you.
