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 my old brown shoes.
I'll 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' (cryin, cryin').
Oh, Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I,
see you cryin' (cryin, cryin')
Feelin' all alone without a friend
you know you feel like dyin' (dyin', dyin').
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I,
see you cryin' (cryin', 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 my old brown shoes.
I'll 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' (cryin, cryin').
Oh, Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I,
see you cryin' (cryin, cryin')
Feelin' all alone without a friend
you know you feel like dyin' (dyin', dyin').
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I,
see you cryin' (cryin', cryin').

Feelin' all alone without a friend
you know you feel like dyin' (dyin', dyin').
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I,
see you cryin' (cryin', cryin').
Feelin' all alone without a friend
you know you feel like dyin' (dyin', dyin').
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I,
see you cryin' (cryin', 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.

    General Comment:hold2thecore- This movie is a great version of the origional Taming Of The Shrew. It has a great cast, (Heath Ledger is the sexiest guy alive.) and it was written very well to go along with the book. They are better when they do their own songs. But don't insult a great movie just b/c one of it's songs is a cover..............

    General Comment:this song is okay, i guess.

    too lame, too unoriginal, too overplayed, though.

    LTC is better when they do their own songs.

    and the movie was just like every other teen one. it doesn't do "the taming of the shrew" justice.
