Can't See You When I Want To Songtext
von David Porter

Ain′t that loving you for more reasons than one
You know it's a funny thing about love
When I look around and I see the beautiful faces
I can honestly say that love did this
When I look around and I see the unity
I can honestly say that love did this
Ain′t that loving you for more reasons than one?
Not just because you're good stuff
But because of what you mean to me and what you are to me
We're here to get together tonight
Let′s love each other in the minds, alright?
And maybe there will come a time when a situation will develop
That we can′t be together
Maybe something will cause us to be apart
I tell you what you do if you love that person, if you love that thing You make it up in your mind that everything's gonna be alright
Just because there′s no money in the pocket
Don't mean they′re enjoying the socket
Darling, I wanna say to you right now
That if something ever happens, it will
Never erase the love that I feel for you
It will never erase what is deeply embedded in my heart
And I wanna sing a song right now that may simply say
The changes that I'll go through for you, alright?
I wonder, will you hit me one time?
I wonder, will
I wonder, can I ask everybody to say "yeah" one time for me?
Say "yeah" one time for me over here
Say "yeah"
Say what?

I want to see you, baby, right now, oh yeah
But I know why I can′t see you for tonight
'Cause I know you are tied up and I'm free
You got so much to lose taking chances seeing me


Yet you say you love me
And I say, girl, I′m gonna keep on loving you
Even though I can′t see you when I want to, Lord

Last night you said you'd meet me
At the same old usual time
I was late, you had to leave early
Don′t you know it blew my mind
Baby, I'm suffering, girl

Oh, but still I know I′m gonna keep on loving you
Even though I can't see you when I want to

You say we ought to stop
There′s no future for you or me, no
But I know we want each other
And we don't care, we don't care what the outcome may be
′Cause we can′t see each other when we want to
'Cause he just might wanna take you out
You know what? I′ll have to wait 'til he gets through

But, baby, I′m gonna wait
And another thing
I know I'm gonna keep on loving you
Even though I can′t see you
I can't, I can't, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, baby

I just wanna see you now
Not tomorrow, right now, girl
Ooh yeah, let me talk to you
Why, oh why, let me talk to you
You know, baby, I′m so confused tonight
′Cause in your life I know there are two men
It's me and your main man
I think he got a job working somewhere at the grocery store over there
Now, I may not can give you everything that he can
But in my mind and in my soul, I know I got a real love for you
My, my, my, my, my, my, my baby, oh, Lord

Every night I think about your love
It makes me go through changes inside
Girl, I just wanna see you right now
Till I break down the walls for you
Fight a mighty army for you
Oh baby, oh baby
And until I see you, girl
Every night I can′t see you when I wanna
You know what I'm gon′ do?
I'ma go into my room, fold up my arms
Look at my four walls and I′m just gon' cry
I got to see my baby, I need to see my baby
Let me get to my baby, bring me my, oh Lord
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, yeah, baby

I just wanna see you now
Not tomorrow, right now, girl
Ooh yeah, you know what?
I'm a stubborn kinda fellow
I′m getting mighty mellow
Till I just break down the walls for you
Climb through the windows for you
Just to get your love, just to be by your side
I, I don′t know why, I don't know why, I don′t know why
But I, I got to, got to have you, girl
Ooh, Lord, ooh, Lord
I just want to see you, baby, let me see you, baby
You can't understand what the pain is like
You don′t understand, but I, I, I need to see you, baby
I can't see you when I wanna, I′m gon' see you when I can
Let me, let me, let me see you
You're not listening to me
I′m begging you, baby, don′t make me fall on my knees
On my knees, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
I don't wanna do it, but, but, but your love is so good to me, baby
You, you, you, you′re so right for me, baby
