Classic Rock/some song

Question
Oh man I hope you can help! I've heard this song on the radio over the years
but never found out who it is.  Might be from 70's.  So here it goes.  The song
is mainly an acoustic four chord progression strummed the same through out
except for a little solo here and there.  Male singer.  I think it goes...

"I really want to know you...."

"I really want to be with you..."

"I really want show you..."

Something along those lines.


Thanks for any help you can offer.

Answer
Im sure its one of these two songs. First one being George Harrison - My sweet Lord or Gary Wright - Really Want To Know You. Please rate my answer. The lyrics for both are below.


Really Want To Know You Gary Wright

I DON'T MIND BEING LONELY
BUT I DO MIND IF NOT BEING LOVED
MAYBE YOU'RE FEELING THE SAME WAY TOO
YOU'RE READY TO HOLD SOME ONE

( CHORUS )

I REALLY WANNA KNOW YOU
I REALLY WANNA SHOW YOU THE WAY I FEEL
I REALLY WANNA KNOW YOU
I REALLY WANNA SHOW YOU THE WAY I FEEL

SOMETHING ABOUT YOU IS TELLING ME
WE'RE COMING FROM THE VERY SAME PLACE
IT'S ONLY JUST A NOTION I HAVE
(BUT) I SEE IT WRITTEN OVER YOUR FACE

I REALLY WANNA KNOW YOU
I REALLY WANNA SHOW YOU THE WAY I FEEL
I REALLY WANNA KNOW YOU
I REALLY WANNA SHOW YOU THE WAY I FEEL

* YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING ABOUT YOU THAT I WANT AROUND ME
SOMETHING I'VE BEEN SEARCHING ALL MY LIFE THROUGH
SO NOW IT'S UP TO YOU, YEAH, YEAH
TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO
I WANNA KNOW YEAH YEAH YEAH

EVERYTIME I SEE YOU IT'S THE SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN
YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING TO ME IT'S TRUE
AND I DON'T WANT TO FELL IT END

I REALLY WANNA KNOW YOU
I REALLY WANNA SHOW YOU THE WAY I FEEL
I REALLY WANNA KNOW YOU
I REALLY WANNA SHOW YOU THE WAY I FEEL

REPEAT *
