“Want to Want Me”
By Jason Derulo
It's too hot to sleep
I got the sheets on the floor
Nothing on me
And I can't take it no more
It's a hundred degrees
I got one foot out the door
Where are my keys
'Cause I got to leave, yeah
In the back of the cab
I tip the driver, head to town
Get me there fast
I've got your body on my mind
I want it bad
Just the thought of you
Gets me so high, so high
Chorus
Girl, you're the one
I want to want me
And if you want me
Girl, you've got me
There's nothing I know
I wouldn't do, I wouldn't do
Just to get up next you
You open the door
Wearing nothing but a smile
Fell to the floor
And you whisper in my ear
Baby I'm yours
Just the thought of you
Gets me so high, so high
(Chorus)
Just the thought of you
Gets me so high
(Chorus)
