It’s You . . .

You come out from nowhere
Disappear and reappear
Houdini would be very proud
. . . Feel you in ways
I can’t understand
Just tell me I can be your man

I can be anything you want me to be
I just want to love you
Show you exactly what
you mean to me
Buddy, let me love you
Love you now

I’ll never go, I’m frozen,
I’m standing here
Won’t move until the day
I get you near
Hear me when I say
You’re the one I want

– Adapted from “Love You”
by Maxwell (from the album,
