Purveyor of the bakersfield sound, country singer-songwriter Dwight Yoakam grew up in Columbus, Ohio before heading west and finding a home two doors down in Bakersfield, CA. "Honky Tonk Man" and "Guitars and Cadillacs" are classic songs in their own right, but nearly every song Yoakam churns out stays true to his sound and finds popularity among modern country fans, despite the saturation of the pop-oriented contemporary Nashville sound. The most recent release, "Blame the Vain" continues in the routine of solid albums from Mr. Yoakam.

I Want You To Want Me Lyrics
Dwight Yoakam
I want you to want me
Yeah, I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
Yeah, I'm beggin' you to beg me
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
Yeah, I'd love you to love me
I'll shine up my old brown shoes
Put on a brand new shirt
Get home early from work
If you say that you love me
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'
Feeling all alone without a friend
You know you feel like dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'
And I want you to want me
Yeah, I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
Yeah, I'm beggin' you to beg me
I'll shine up my old brown shoes
Put on a brand new shirt
Get home early from work
If you say that you love me
Aw, Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'
Feeling all alone without a friend
you know you feel like dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I hear you cryin'
--- Instrumental ---
I'll shine up my old brown shoes
Put on a brand new shirt
Get home early from work
If you say that you love me
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I hear you cryin'
Feeling all alone without a friend
you know you feel like dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I hear you cryin'
I want you to want me
Yeah, I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
Woo, I want you to want me...
