[Verse 1]
You got the look I like
You make the people stare
And it's getting me in a state
You're going out with someone
I don't approve of
And it's getting me in a state

[Pre-Chorus]
I see you in a restaurant
I wanna hold you
I see you with your mother
I wanna hold you
I see you when you don't see me
I wanna hold you

[Chorus]
I wanna hold you in my arms
And I wanna love you
I wanna hold you in my arms
And I wanna love you
I want you and I'm gonna try
I want you and I'm gonna try

[Verse 2]
I'm searching but
I don't know why I bother
'Cos I've seen you
And you look just right
[Chorus]
I wanna hold you in my arms
And I wanna love you
I wanna hold you in my arms
And I wanna love you
I want you and I'm gonna try
I want you and I'm gonna try

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
Still searching but
I don't know why I bother
'Cos I've seen you
And you look just right

[Chorus]
I wanna hold you in my arms
And I wanna love you
I wanna hold you in my arms
And I wanna love you
I want you and I'm gonna try
I want you and I'm gonna try
