["I Wanna Be With You Tonight"]
[Intro - A with a few quick changes to D]
[Verse]
I just know your name but still just the same
I see you in my dreams at night, I see you in my food when I eat
I see your pretty mug, I think that I'm in love
If you kissed me I would blow up, if I kissed you would you throw up?
I try to say "Don't walk away from me in my condition"
[Verse]
I sit and look at you and think of what to do
After school when you go home and leave me standing all alone here
And I try to speak, my mouth's dry, I'm weak
I'm sure you've got a boyfriend and he's probably a lawyer or something
I try to say "Don't walk away from me in my condition" cause
[Chorus]
I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
[Bridge]
I can't look to the other side of the room and you're ignoring me
You must think that I'm gay because I can't find a way to ask you out
But I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
[Key change]
[Verse]
I sit and look at you and think of what to do
After school when you go home and leave me standing all alone here
And I try to speak, my mouth's dry, I'm weak
I'm sure you've got a boyfriend and he's probably a lawyer or something
I try to say "Don't walk away from me in my condition" cause
[Chorus]
I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
