[Intro]
You know how to whistle?
Just put your lips together, baby
Then blow

[Verse 1]
I want to kiss you in Paris
I want to hold your hand in Rome
I want to run naked
In a rainstorm
Make love in a train
Cross-country
You put this in me
So now what?
So now what?

[Chorus]
Wanting
Needing
Wanting
Waiting
Wanting
Needing
Yearning
For you
To justify my love

[Verse 2]
I wanna know you
But not like that
I don't want to be your mother
I don't want to be your sister, either
I just wanna be your lover
I wanna be your baby
Kiss me
That's right
Kiss me

[Chorus]
Wanting

[Sample]
I need it
I need it
I need it
I need it

[Verse 3]
What are you going to do?
Talk to me
Tell me your dreams
Am I in them?
Tell me your fears
Are you scared?
I'm not afraid of who you are
Love me
That's right
Love me

[Refrain]
Justify, justify my love now
Justify, justify my love
Justify, justify my love now
Justify, justify my love

[Verse 4]
C'mon baby
I'm open
You put this in me
Not like that
I don’t wanna be your mother
I wanna be your baby
I wanna run naked
In a rainstorm
That's right
In a rainstorm
I'm open
For you
To justify my love

[Chorus]
