I'd Rather Be With You Lyrics

Lyrics
I'd rather be with you, yeah
Said I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you, yeah
Said I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you until I'm through, oh yes, I do
I'd rather be with you until the day we fly away
I just love to see a smiling face in the early sun
And if I can't have you to myself, then life's no fun
I'd rather be with you, yeah
Said I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you, yeah
Said I'd rather be with you
I wanna hold your hand if I can and be your girl
I wanna be your friend, not now and then but until the end
I just love the way you act and that's a fact
I wanna be your number one, so picture that
I'd rather be with you, yeah
Said I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you, yeah
Said I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you, yeah
Said I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you, yeah
Said I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you, yeah
Said I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you, yeah
Said I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you, yeah
Said I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you, yeah
Said I'd rather be with you
