Cee-Lo Sings Out His Soul On The SFW Track “I Want You”

Cee-Lo washes his mouth out with soap and goes super clean in the midtempo soul tune “I Want You.” Although we’re sure C-L doesn’t want to be known as the guy who curses in all his songs, we’d argue that this generic 60s throwback is a bit too safe. But you make the call—hear the radio rip of The Lady Killer track below.

To be honest, though, it’s a bit of a letdown after the way we instantly fell in love with “Fuck You“. Still, the man can’t make a bad song.

What do you think? Yay or nay?
