Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I want to kiss you in Paris

I want to hold your hand in Rome

I want to run naked in a rainstorm

Make love in a train cross-country

You put this in me

So now what, so now what?

[Chorus]

Wanting, needing, waiting

For you to justify my love

Hoping, praying (My love, my love)

For you to justify my love

[Bridge]

Okay

[Verse 2]

I want to know you

Not like that

I don't want to be your mother

I don't want to be your sister either

I just want to be your lover

I want to have you, baby

Kiss me, that's right, kiss me

[Chorus]

Wanting, needing, waiting

For you to justify my love

Yearning, burning (My love, my love)

For you to justify my love

[Verse 3]

What are you gonna do?

What are you gonna do?

Talk to me

Tell me your dreams

Am I in them?

Tell me your fears

Are you scared?

Tell me your stories

I'm not afraid of who you are

We can fly

Poor is the man

Whose pleasures depend

On the permission of another

Love me, that's right, love me

I want to be your baby

Mmm, yeah

[Chorus]

Wanting, needing, waiting

For you to justify my love

I'm open and ready (My love, my love)

For you to justify my love

To justify my love (My love, my love)

Wanting to justify (For you to justify my love)

Waiting to justify my love (My love, my love)

Praying to justify (For you to justify my love)

To justify my love

I'm open to justify my love (My love, my love)
