"I'd Love You to Want Me" is a song by American singer-songwriter Lobo. It was released in September 1972 as the second single from his second album Of a Simple Man.
The song was Lobo's highest charting hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it spent two weeks at No. 2 in November.[2][3] The single was the second of four of his songs to hit No. 1 on the Easy Listening chart, where it had a one-week stay at that top spot in December 1972.[4] It became a gold record.
When released in the United Kingdom in 1972, the song failed to reach the UK Singles Chart; however, a re-release of the single in 1974, on the UK record label, peaked at No. 5.[5]
The song also topped the music charts in at least seven nations, including Australia (Kent Music Report, two weeks), Canada (RPM Magazine, one week), and Germany (Media Control Charts, 13 weeks in 1973–1974).
Many artists have covered the song. Among the most notable are the following:
Dutch singer Dennis Jones (born Casper Janssen), covered it with Dutch lyrics titled "De Zon Die Zal Schijnen"; it stayed five weeks on the Dutch Single Top 100 chart in 2008, peaking at No. 48. The CD single also included a German version, "Du Bist Nicht Alleine", and the original English version "I'd Love You To Want Me".
Brazilian pop trio KLB released a Portuguese version of the song in 2000, titled "Ela Não Está Aqui".
Dutch-Spanish singer Tony Ronald released a cover and also a spanish version of the song, titled "Tú Sabes Que Te Amo".
