I WANTED YOUR LOVE

Luther Vandross and Marcus Miller

(album:BUSY BODY - 1983)





Yeah, your love...



All of the band was on time for rehearsal

And played everything just right

Then came the news telling me not to worry

The show is selling out tonight

Well, the lights went on and suddenly the crowd began to scream

And as you could well imagine, it was like living a dream

Oh, but when the lights went down and the standing "O" was done

I was just another lonely guy who didn't have no one



Chorus:

(I wanted your love, your love baby, your love baby, your love)

(Your love, your love, love, love love, love)

Give me your love, give me your love, give me your love

(I wanted your love, your love baby, your love baby, your love)

(Your love, your love, love, love love, love)

Well Well, your love



So busy daydreaming 'bout you, baby

I didn't even hear the phone

Then, when my friends rang the doorbell it scared me

They said, we're so glad you're home

You just won a million dollars and a trip around the world

Better get yourself together and forget about that girl

They thought I was acting crazy not to get excited too

But all the money in the world could never take the place of you



Repeat Chorus



All over the city the lights were so pretty

The holiday was filled with cheer

The stars really glistened and lovers were kissin'

It was the special part of the year

So what a perfect time it was to find someone to say I do

Thought that I could still be happy even though she wasn't you

We had told the world that we were gonna ring the wedding bell

But when I really thought about it I was lying to myself



Repeat Chorus and Fade
