I would say I like you, if I thought that you would care, 'cause this obsessive flirting isn't going anywhere,
I want to try and show that I...I really can be cool, but when my mouth starts flapping, I start sounding like a fool.

I want love and company, tenderness and sympathy - these are the things I'm longing for,
Not sex, (no) not a one-night stand, but just to walk by the water as I'm holding your hand,
I've been looking around for somebody that's true; now I'm looking at you.

I want to do some things and spend some time with someone,
Not sex, or drugs, or alcohol; just good, old-fashioned fun,
And you...you seem so perfect, well, in almost every way,
So I hope you can decipher what I'm trying to say.

'Cause I want love and company, your tenderness and your sympathy - these are the things I'm longing for,
Not sex, (no) not a one-night stand, but just to walk by the water as I'm holding your hand,
I've been looking around for somebody that's true; now I'm looking at you.

Now that I have told you this, I'm feeling deathly sick,
'Cause maybe being so honest was, indeed, not very slick,
But I can't help this attraction 'cause I...I know that you're so fine,
And I swear I'll never rest until the day I make you mine.

I want love and company, tenderness and sympathy - these are the things I'm longing for,
Not sex, (no) not a one-night stand, and just to walk by the water as I'm holding your hand,
I've been looking around for somebody that's true; now I'm looking at you.

I love your love,
I love your love,
I love your company.

I've been looking around for somebody that's true; now I'm looking at you.
