Release: February 23, 1987

Lyrics:

When I first laid my eyes upon you

I knew right then and there you were the one

Eyes so deep, you sent me melting

And then you smiled as though to say, "oh, yeah"

But then you seemed to change your mind

You looked away like you were oh so shy

Is the game you're playing hard to get

Won't you tell me, oh ho

Want me, don't you want me

To touch you and to hold you tight

Don't you want me like I want you

To kiss and love all through the night

I'd like to know more than just your name

Did you come here alone or with someone

If only you would open up

And let me know just where you're coming from

Are you looking for a new love

Or does commitment seem to bring you down

Is that a look of "yes" or is it "no"

Please don't tease me, oh

Want me, don't you want me

To touch you and to hold you tight

Don't you want me like I want you

To kiss and love all through the night

Ohoh, yeah

Don't you want me?

Ohoh, yeah

Don't you want me?

Want me, don't you want me

To touch you and to hold you tight

Don't you want me like I want you

To kiss and love all through the night

Are you looking for a new love

Or does commitment seem to bring you down

Is that a look of "yes" or is it "no"?

Please don't tease me, oh

Want me, don't you want me

To touch you and to hold you tight

Don't you want me like I want you

To kiss and love all through the night

Want me, don't you want me

To touch you and to hold you tight

Don't you want me like I want you

To kiss and love all through the night

Songwriter:

Want me (oh, oh), don't you want me (yeah)

(Don't you want me)

Want me (oh, oh), don't you want me (yeah, yeah)

(Don't you want me)
