I Don’t Want to Own You (I Just Want to Love You) Lyrics

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 all on your own
Like a pup without a home
You need these arms of mine
To shelter you (Shelter you)
If you'll just let yourself
Feel the need of someone else
Your life with me will fill
Your every need (Every need)

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

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

Your touch upon my cheek
Mistake the words you speak
These precious things
They keep me hangin′ on (Hangin' on)
But deep inside, I know
On the dawn you′ll go
Back out that door
And out my life once more

You say you've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
And I pray you do
It's so hard for me
Waiting ′til your eyes can see
That you need me
You need me

And in my solitude
I say a prayer for you
That you might come to me
Come to me

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
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
I don′t want to own you
I just want to love you
