(Intro)

(Verse 1)
So...
I come across you at the club, and my,
I feel your smile
I feel your look
I feel deep desire
For I
Have never seen someone who makes it right
Like this
Making me feel good when you say that:

(Hook)
What I want
The perfection I see in you
What I want
The feeling that I'll give to you

(Chorus)
I want you here, so don't be shy
Intensity is what we'll try, 'cause
Your beauty, revealing
You I Want
And babe, you know we'll be so sweet
When we are dancing cheek to cheek, yeah
Affection, I'm dreaming
You I Want

(Interlude)

(Verse 2)
So...
When you are with your friends, I'll stop and say
I feel your smile
I feel your look
I feel deep desire
For you
Are unlike any girl I've ever known
Baby
So hold onto the moment and sing:

(Hook)
(Chorus)

(Bridge)
My emotions
Sending a buzz of love, I know
You feel what I am feeling, girl
My wildest dreams
Are captured when I get to dance with you
Take my heart tonight...
Oh, yeah...
(You I Want)
Yeah, ooh...
(You I Want)

(Chorus)

(Outro)

You I Want

In David's Words:

What is You I Want ?
You I Want is a song of emotion. It has a beat a lot like Asiatique, but more club-friendly. It definately is partly inspired by East-Asian influence, as so many pop songs are these days.

What makes this song different, then?
You I Want has this different kind of flavor. When you hear it, you'll know what I mean. It has a lot of passion, and it takes my music to a totally different level. It sort of cultminates all a person feels when they have love at first sight. It feels a little R&B as well. But it's different from Asiatique in that it has a lot more of a chorus, and it's definately more catchy. I wanted to take a risk with this song, so I basically built it from scratch. I hope other people feel it, too!

welcome to
You I Want / Anew
David's first original-release CD single!

David Donofrio is working on the first original CD single of his pop career, as a welcome to Wittenberg University, and a goodbye to Dublin Scioto High School. The single is actually for
You I Want
, the last new song he wrote and performed in Dublin. But in addition, a completely new ballad called Anew is also featured on the disc, which David himself calls "the most beautiful and passionate ballad I've ever written." Anew is also appropriately titled, celebrating the new experience of college that will be coming soon for David.

          Why didn't he just do some other songs and put these 2 on a new album, like he has in the past? "These songs are in a separate category," David says. "They may eventually come out as part of an album, but right now, the time to do an entire album just isn't there. But I feel it is important to release these 2 songs as soon as I can, together. On one CD, they are polar opposites of each other, but each one I feel a very special connection to."

          You I Want, the main track, is a club-friendly song with little bits of an Asian influence. It is about meeting someone new on the dance floor and being completely taken away by her. Anew, by contrast, is a ballad about a long lost love, where David uses imagery-infused lyrics to convince her that the relationship should begin again. Anew is also perfectly timed because "this is a time in my life where I want the past to remain, yet I need to move forward," David says.

The limited-edition CD single is timed for release "hopefully before the end of the year," David says.  But with college, there can never be specific promises. More details will be posted here as they come. You I Want / Anew will be available both as a single CD, or in a package with David's popular album, #12.

Production on both songs is happening now. Before the release, get a taste of each song by reading the lyrics below!

(Intro)
Ah, Ooh...

(Verse 1)
Open up the memories
In your perfect heart
Dust off all those photographs
And feel the sun again

As you listen to your feelings
Cast the doubt away
Can you hear it? Quiet, let it
Make you whole again

(Hook)
Ah, ah
It rings true
Ah, ah
I love you

(Chorus)
Baby I need you in my life
So I can say my world is Anew
Baby just breathe into the light
So you can feel your destiny, too
O can we save our fire of old
So we can leave behind all the gloom?
Baby I need you in my life
So I can say my world is Anew

(Verse 2)
Picture one, you see your smile
Standing next to me
Picture romance, captivation,
Growing with each tear

Years ago those pictures showed us
The magic through our love
Let that spirit, that devotion,
Make you whole again

(Hook)
(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Baby as you recreate us,
The story of our love,
Let the music of sweet romance
Make us whole again
Ah, ah
Emotion
Ah, ah
Devotion
Ah, ah
It rings true
Ah, ah
I love you

(Chorus)

(Outro)
Open up the memories
In your perfect heart
Dust off all those photographs
And feel the sun again
