I Don't Want to Want You - Lobo

It was always hard to pin you down And it was only natural for me to hope you'd come around But please, take your reservations and forget them You know things could be so easy if you'd let them And I don't want to lose you now Or ever No, I don't want to lose you now Or ever And there's a darkness in the way you sing And something curious in how you walk as if you've got a broken wing That makes me want to help you find a way to throw your shadow We can even sing songs about your past loves at my piano 'Cause I don't want to lose you now Or ever No, I don't want to lose you now Or ever And I can always feel it, when you're getting set to run Like you're halfway through the chorus And you think the song is done But, baby, take a minute, or take a beer out from the fridge So, maybe we can try this time to make it past the bridge 'Cause I don't want to lose you now, Or ever No, I don't want to lose you now Or ever Baby, I don't want to lose you now Or ever No, I don't want to lose you now Or ever, oh no

I met him one day in the Rockies Where the night air tasted like wine The winter was hard and had me starving When the two of them found me in time Then one night I crashed north of Reno I'd been on the road too long Then I woke to the warmth of her fire And the sweet welcome home of his song It was the California Kid and Reemo Lending me a helping hand It was the California Kid and Reemo Teaching me to love And teaching me to live off the land I thanked them and headed for Oregon The trees were the walls of my home But the rain soaked my bones every morning And the chill made me feel more alone Just when I thought I should end it The world didn't need men like me My mind heard the song of my two friends And the sun started shining on me It was the California Kid and Reemo Lending me a helping hand It was the California Kid and Reemo Teaching me to love And teaching me to live off the land It was the California Kid and Reemo Lending me a helping hand It was the California Kid and Reemo Teaching me to love And teaching me to live off the land It was the California Kid and Reemo Lending me a helping hand It was the California Kid and Reemo Teaching me to love And teaching me to live off the land
