Jon McLaughlin - I Want You Anyway Lyrics

I gave up a long time ago
Trying to find love
TV told me it was like the movies
But it never was

I couldn't beat it or join it
So I just avoided it
Come what may
Then you came

And I wanna hold you in my arms
I wanna let you break my heart
I wanna feel the way it feels to make you stay

And I know you'll bring me to my knees
I know you're way out of my league
I know I can't afford the price I'm gonna pay
But I want you anyway

It's so self-betrayal of me
I'm about to say all the things
Swore I'd never say
But my heart's in my mind
Drawing lines I can't erase

And all of a sudden
All that wasn't
So beautifully is
When we kiss

And I wanna hold you in my arms
I wanna let you break my heart
I wanna feel the way it feels to make you stay

And I know you'll bring me to my knees
I know you're way out of my league
I know I can't afford the price I'm gonna pay
But I want you anyway

The way the light hangs off you
I never stood a chance
See you changed every plan I had with one glance

And I wanna hold you in my arms
I wanna let you break my heart
I wanna feel the way it feels to make you stay

And I know you'll bring me to my knees
I know you're way out of my league
I know I can't afford the price I'm gonna pay
But I want you anyway
