I Love You Like I Love Myself

All my friends say I’m a fool
I can’t still stand that new boy hangin' around
Every night, honey, you’re, you’re not on the dancefloor
I know he is back in town
And Marguerita, I want you so much
Can’t handle myself
Tryin' to find me another love
But I just turn out to be foolin' myself, 'cause honey
I want you
I love you like I love myself
And I don’t need nobody else
I love you like I love myself
And I don’t need nobody else
Hey, didn’t see you hangin' around in the après-ski
And I didn’t see you downtown
I know your rock’n’roll fancy playboy kind of boyfriend
And I hate to see him back in town
Hey, Marguerita, I want you so much
Can’t handle myself
Oh, I tried so hard to find me another love
But I just fooled myself, 'cause
I want you
I love you like I love myself
And I don’t need nobody else
I love you like I love myself
And I don’t need nobody else
'Cause when you’re near
I can hear you moan
As long as you’re hangin' round
I don’t feel down
Hey!
I love you like I love myself
And I don’t need nobody else
I love you like I love myself
And I don’t need nobody else
Hey!
I love you like I love myself
And I don’t need nobody else
I love you like I love myself
And I don’t need no, I don’t need nobody, child
Cha, cha!
Prrrr!
I love you like I love myself
And I don’t need nobody else (Hey, mama)
I love you like I love myself
And I don’t need nobody else (Prrrr, cha!)
I love you like I love myself
And I don’t need nobody else
