If You Want To Songtext / Lyric

However long it takes you

I never wanna shake your love

I never wanna break this up

I need you 'round



You say there's nothing to it

It's easy to get through to you

Whenever I'm alone with you

You show me how



If you wanna be the one to be loved

You gotta be the one giving it up

If you wanna be the one to be kissed

You gotta be the one taking a risk

If you want to, if you want to



Remember what I told you

I wished that you would hold me to

Things I used to say to you

When we were young






So maybe when you're ready

If I'm ever steady enough

If I'm ever Tom Petty enough

Then I'll write you a song



If you wanna be the one to be loved

You gotta be the one giving it up

If you wanna be the one to be kissed

You gotta be the one taking a risk



If you wanna be the one to get high

You gotta set your sights up in the sky

If you want to, if you want to



Once I was a child but I'm older

When I know I need to remember now

You take me back

Sometimes when I sleep I am younger

Still I know I'm never ever going to rest

Do you hear with me?



If you wanna be the one to be loved

You gotta be the one giving it up

If you wanna be the one to be kissed

You gotta be the one taking a risk

If you want to, if you want to



If you wanna be the one to get high

You gotta set your sights up in the sky

If you wanna be the one to be loved

You gotta be the one giving it up

If you want to, if you want to

If you wanna be loved
