I Want You Lyrics

will.i.am
Once the love was strong
Now it's long, long gone
Cause the pain, came down like a storm
I remained holding on
'Cause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want you

Common
I been thinkin' 'bout
I been thinkin' 'bout
I been thinkin' 'bout you lately
Thoughts take me to when we were close
Addicted to your love, feel I need another dose
I know it's a feeling
That should be long gone
Things seem to come up
When I hear our song
Golden brown girl, it seem so long
Since i heard your voice
Where did the king go wrong?
Emotions that that they linger on
I guess cause I never knew a love so strong
So many hot girls
I need your warm
The taste of your mouth
Girl, I need your warm
Good food and love
I need your warm
This here was made before we were born
A dreamer, so I'ma keep dreamin' on
It's kinda like the breakup of Jen and Vince Vaughn

will.i.am
Once the love was strong
Now it's long, long gone
Cause the pain, came down like a storm
i remained holding on
Cause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want you

Common
They say you don't know know know
What you got
Til' what you got is gone
Yeah I like such and such yo alot
But the feelings not as strong
We were like two birds
That were able to fly
I try to pick the right words to say to the sky
Somedays I would try but wasn't able to cry
I never been good at sayin' goodbye
I take a deep breath when the times is hard
When i reminisce over u, my god
I spent many years tryna be the heartthrob
I guess it's only right that I got my heart robbed
The scent of a room that reminds me of you
A hint of perfume it remind me of you
Take a look at the moon it remind me of you
Hope the stars and the gods
Align me and you

will.i.am
Once the love was strong
Now it's long, long gone
Cause the pain, came down like a storm
I remained holding on
Cause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want you
Cause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want you

Common
We do what we do
And we do what we live
I love this way
Cause I got it as a kid
With so much to give from it
I never hid
The love that I wrote on the mirror it got smeared
My friends say it was a change for the better
But i say, girl you changed my forever
Relationships they can be as strange as the weather
Rain or sun
We can sang this together

will.i.am
Cause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want you
Cause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want you

Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. (born March 13, 1972 in Chicago, Illinois), better known by his stage name Common (previously Common Sense), is a Grammy award winning rapper, author and actor known for lyrics that focus on love and spirituality. Signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music, many people describe him as being a conscious hip hop artist who makes songs that send a message. He debuted in 1992 with the album Can I Borrow a Dollar? and maintained a significant underground following into the late 90s, after which he gained notable mainstream success through his work with the Soulquarians.

As well as music, Common has worked as an actor, on films such as 'Smokin' Aces' (as Sir Ivy) 'American Gangster' (as Turner Lucas), 'Wanted', and 'John Wick: Chapter 2'. He may also be seen in cameo roles in films such as 'Brown Sugar'.

His debut was the 1992 album Can I Borrow A Dollar, but he achieved little critical or commercial success until 1994's Resurrection, an instant classic. He produced several more albums, notably Like Water For Chocolate and the highly experimental Electric Circus, before releasing the Kanye West and J Dilla-produced Be in 2005, which was his first album to receive widespread mainstream appeal and radio playtime.

Common is considered a "cred" artist, which has lead him to collaborations with the likes of De La Soul, Jadakiss, T.I, Talib Kweli, The Roots, Kanye West, Lily Allen, Erykah Badu, and Fort Minor.

The 2007 album Finding Forever was produced mainly by long-time collaborator, Kanye West. Common released his eighth album Universal Mind Control in 2008, which was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album but lost to the Eminem album Relapse. He released his ninth album The Dreamer/The Believer in 2011. Nobody's Smiling, his tenth album, was released in 2014. The concept of the album was inspired by his troubled hometown of Chicago.
