I Don't Want to Own You (I Just Want to Love You) Songtext

von The Supremes

[Chorus]
I don't want to own you
I just want to love you
I don't want to own you
I just want to love you

You're lost, out on your own
Like a pup without a home
You need these arms of mine to shelter you (shelter you)
If you just let yourself
Here with needing someone else
Your life with me will be your every need (every need)

You'll say you've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
And I'll pray you do
'Cause it's so hard for me
Waiting 'till your eyes can see
That you need me, you need me

[Chorus]

Your touch upon my cheek
Each take the words you speak
These precious things that keeps me hangin' on (hangin' on)
But deep inside I know
From the time you'll go
Back out that door and out my life once more

You'll say you've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
And I'll pray you do
'Cause it's so hard for me
Waiting 'till your eyes can see
That you need me, you need me

Back in my solitude
I say a prayer for you
That you may come to me
Come to me

[Interlude]

[Repeat Chorus 'till fade]
