"I Just Wanted to See You So Bad" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams. It was released in 1989 as the third single from her third album, Lucinda Williams (1988).

Critical reception
Country music website The Boot ranked the song No. 5 on their list of the best Lucinda Williams songs, describing it as a "upbeat, organ-swirled song", writing "After starting off rather innocuously (I drove my car in the middle of the night/I just wanted to see you so bad), the brisk, twangy song evolves into something more like obsession: 'We'd always talked on the telephone/But I'd never been with you all alone,' Williams casually sings, before letting it slip that the visit is perhaps a surprise. 'I got off on the seventh floor, I just wanted to see you so bad'."[3]
A retrospective review of Lucinda Williams by The Austin Chronicle stated the song "still jumps from the speakers as if we're hearing it for the first time", calling it a "glittering example of what exemplary roots rock can be."[4]
