[Lyric] I Want to Make You Love Me Live (Janis Ian)

[Verse 1]
Friendly stranger
Look what you do to me
Smiling faces and I melt inside
Singing praises of your company
I wanna lay me down
Stay all through the night

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You are too good to be
Wholly and totally mine
You are too good to be
Slipping away like wine
And I'm waiting, praying
Skating on the edge of the line
Let me down easy
Let me down easy

[Chorus]
I wanna make you love me
And I wanna make you smile
And I wanna be your family
For just a little while
[Verse 2]
I get frightened
By the thunder
And the lightning roars like a bullet in the pourin' rain
I get heightened by your wondering arms
Lay me down
Do it all over again

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You are too good to be
Wholly and totally mine
You are slipping away
And I'm making you stay
And I'm waiting for the sun to shine
I go rolling down the incline
Holding on a lifeline
Stopping on the edge of a dime
Let me down easy
Let me down easy

[Chorus]
I wanna make you love me
And I wanna make you smile
And I wanna be your family
Just a little while
[Chorus]
I wanna make you love me
And I wanna make you smile
And I wanna be your family
Just a little while, ooh
