Chitarra Acustica

I Want You è un brano scritto e interpretato da Elvis Costello, pseudonimo di Declan Patrick MacManus, contenuto nell'album Blood & Chocolate pubblicato nel 1986. Undicesimo disco di inediti per il cantautore londinese, segna il ritorno della collaborazione con la band The Attractions, quasi del tutto assente nel precedente album King of America. La canzone è il secondo singolo estratto e mette in scena una tumultuosa storia d'amore fatta di passione, gelosia ed ossessione.
