Rock classic of the day: "I Want You To Want Me" by Cheap Trick (1977)

"I Want You To Want Me" by Cheap Trick (1977,but the live version from 1979 is superior)

(written by Rick Nielsen)

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me

I'll shine up my old brown shoes
I'll put on a brand new shirt
I'll come home early from work
If you say that you love me


Didn't I,didn't I,didn't I see you cryin?
Oh,didn't I,didn't I,didn't I see you cryin?
Feeling all alone without a friend,you know you feel like dying
Oh,didn't I,didn't I,didn't I see you cryin?

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me

I'll shine up my old brown shoes
I'll put on a brand new shirt
I'll come early from work
If you say that you love me

Didn't I,didn't I,didn't I see you cryin?
Oh,didn't I,didn't I,didn't I see you cryin?
Feeling all alone without a friend you know you feel like dyin'
Oh,didn't I,didn't I,didn't I see you cryin?

chorus

I want you to want me
I want you to want me
I want you to want me
I want you to want me

Ok,I admit,the song isn't lyrically deep lol

But it has a certain charm to it,and it sounded so good on the radio back in the late 70s.It's one of those guilty pleasure-type songs...lol
