Hey all, a while ago, about a year and a half ago, i got a song called i want you, supposedly by the brothers johnson, but i dont think it was, coz i've been trying to find the song again and cant find it anywhere, but then i remember i learnt the bass line, but i only remember the verse, so i rememberd it as best as i could coz i havnt played it for over a year and recorded it to see if anyone reconises it

Are these Lyrics in the song?



Chorus:

I want you the right way
I want you, but I want you to want me too,
Want you to want me baby
Just like I want you

Da da, da da, da da da

I'll give you all the love I want in return
But half a love is all I feel, sweet darling
It's too bad, it's just too sad
You don't want me no more
But I'm gonna change your mind
Some way, somehow

"I want you" by Marvin Gaye. Written by Leon Ware (One of my favorite songwriters )

Here's a video of Leon performing this song.

Couldn't really tell from the .wav file if this is correct.

I know the song plus Leon is a friend of mine.

Leon,Arthur T-Boy Ross and Jacqueline Hillard wrote that song.It was originaly intended for Leon's own solo project but when Marvin Gaye heard it he really wanted to record it and Leon ended up producing the Marvin Gaye album "I Want You" and the rest is history.

nope thats not the song lol, those lryics sound familiar tho, all i remember from the song, is that it starts with the bass line that i posted, and it ends with a guitar solo, i remember thinking it did sound abit like it was louis johnson on bass, but i dont think it was a brothers johnson song, even tho for some reason it sed it was, mabe i dreamt it, and if i did, i cna keep the bassline lol
