I, yi yi yi (repeat 3 times)
[Chorus:]
I want you the right way
I want you, but I want you to want me too,
Want you to want me baby
Just like I want you
Da da, da da, da da da
I'll give you all the love I want in return
But half a love is all I feel, sweet darling
It's too bad, it's just too sad
You don't want me no more
But I'm gonna change your mind
Some way, somehow
[Chorus:]
Da da, da da, da da da
One way love is just a fantasy
Don't play with something you should cherish for life
Oh baby, don't you want to care?
Ain't it lonely out there?
[Chorus:]
I want you the right way
I want you, but I want you to want me too,
Want me baby, just like I want you.
Da da, da da, da da da
(Spoken:)
I want you, the right way
Want me baby
Don't play with something you should cherish for life
