I Want You To Want Me
Words and Music by Rick Nielsen

I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I'd love you to love me.
I'm beggin' you to beg me.


I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I'd love you to love me.
I'll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt.
I'll get 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'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'.
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 beggin' you to beg me.
I'll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt.
I'll get 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'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'.
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'.
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 beggin' you to beg me.
I want you to want me.
I want you to want me.
I want you to want me.
I want you to want me.

I really like this song. This may be, however, because I am in what may be the first nontoxic romantic relationship of my life. From here, it looks to me like wanting someone to want one, begging etc, may not always be as poisonous as I would have thought four years ago.

Of course, I've never begged in this relationship, and I have in others. But I still like the song.

It's not a toxic relationship, as I use the term.
It's one I'm terrified is dying or dead.
He used to want me.
He used to say he loved me.
I wish he would again.
Maybe he does and just isn't communicating it well.
I don't know.
I just don't know.
