George Duke
I Wanna Love (Like That Again)
[Intro]
A long time ago
I was in love so pure and strong
That nothing anyone said or did
Could make it wrong
So exited
One touch was ecstasy
And since that touch
I've never been the same

[Chorus]
I wanna love like that again
Just want a love like that, ooh, yeah
I wanna love like that again
Only a love

[Verse 1]
I thought of you today and I began to smile
I reminisced on times gone by
And oh, my, my, how we've changed
I can recall the days, the days of sweet surrender
I cherish the joy and the pain, two hearts so tender
Although the path that we walked together, now we walk alone
But now I've grown enough to know, all is fair in love
I guess I really was not enough
Somehow your endless love has died
And oh, my, my, how we have changed
[Pre-Chorus]
But I want to love like that again
When my lover was my friend
Although you never broke the skin you live within
Take me back to innocence

[Chorus]
I wanna love like that again, oh, oh, oh
I wanna love...
I wanna love like that again, oh, oh, oh
I wanna love...
I wanna love like I did way back then

[Verse 2]
When too much was not good enough
One time would not suffice
Oh, if we could turn back the hands of time
Wouldn't that be nice?
But we both have grown enough
To know it could never be the same
Too much has changed, endless love has died
And my, how we've changed

[Pre-Chorus]
But I wan't to love like that again
When my lover was my friend
Although you never broke the skin you live within
Take me back to innocence
[Chorus]
I wanna love like that again, oh, oh, oh (You know I do)
I wanna love... (Come and give me that love)
I wanna love like that again, oh, oh, oh
I wanna love... (Won't it be nice if we can love?)
I wanna love like I did way back then (like I did way back then)

[Bridge]
I'll be waiting here
Take me back to innocence

[Chorus]
I wanna love like that again, oh, oh, oh (You know I do)
I wanna love...
(Come on and love me, come on, come on, come on)
I wanna love like that again, oh, oh, oh
I wanna love... (Be my desire)
I wanna love like I did way back then (Come light my fire)
I wanna love like that again, oh, oh, oh
I wanna love...
I wanna love like that again, oh, oh, oh
I wanna love...
I wanna love like I did way back then (way back then)

[Outro]
Can't you help me find a love?
Do you remember ?
Well, I can never forget
Another love like that in my life before
But life is not over yet
I need a man
Who is not afraid to give himself completely
His love, his body, his mind
And then I'll surrender all that I have
