Want you anyway

You were only 17

Looking at your window screen

Sweetest girl I've ever seen

Straight up from a project dream

You were on the second floor

I was right across from yours

Two different sides of war

Kinda like a west side story now

Leyla I am in love with you Leyla

I'm comin' up any day now

So bust that window and come with me

Leyla get all your stuff and we'll break out

Baby I know what to say now

But I want you anyway

But I want you anyway

Want you anyway

Now we've turned 23

You moved across town from me

Our friends and family

Wouldn't let us be happy

I hear your married now

Hear it ain't working out

But they can't shut us down

Leyla just tell me how and I'll be there

You are a goddess I want you to know

I'll never forget you I'll never let go

Yeah I'll be coming to get ya

Leyla I am in love with you Leyla

I'm comin' up any day now

So bust that window and come with me

Leyla get all your stuff and we'll break out

Baby I know what to say now

But I want you anyway

Want you anyway

Want you anyway

Want you anyway
