Lyrics featured below: "The Flame", "Don't Be Cruel" , "I want you to want me"

The Flame


Another night slowly closes in
And I feel so lonely
Touching heat
breathing out of my skin
I pretend you still hold me
I'm going crazy
I'm loosing sleep
Our magic fire
I'm in way to deep, over you
I can't believe your gone
You were the first
You'll be the last

Where ever you go
I'll be with you
Whatever you want
I'd give it to you
Whenever you need someone
To lay your heart and head upon
Remember after the fire
After all the rain
I will be the flame

Watching shadows move across the wall
It feels so frightful
I want to run to you
I want to call
but I've been hit by lightening
Just can't stand it
the thought of the fire
Can't see through this spell across my heart,
over you
You'll always be the warm hearth
You were the first
You'll be the last

I'm going crazy
I'm loosing sleep
Our magic fire
I'm in way too deep
Over you
You'll always be the warm hearth
You were the first
You'll be the last

Don't Be Cruel

Well you know I can be found
Sitting all alone
If you can't come around
At least please telephone
But don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
Baby, if I made you mad
For something I might have said
Please forget the past
The future's bright ahead
But don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
I don't want no other love
Baby, it's just you I'm thinkin' of
Don't stop thinkin' of me
Don't make me feel this way
Come on over and love me
You know I want you to stay
But don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
Let's walk up to the preacher
Let's say "Hey, I do"
And then I know you'll want me
And you'll know I want you too
(CHORUS)
Why should we be apart?
Baby, you know I love you, cross my heart

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.
