Elvis Costello - I Want You
I want you
|
Youve had your fun you dont get well no more
|
I want you
|
Your fingernails go dragging down the wall
|
Be careful darling you might fall
|
I want you
|
I woke up and one of us was crying I want you
|
You said young man
|
I do believe youre dying I want you
|
If you need a second opinion
|
as you seem to do these days
|
I want you You can look in my eyes
|
and you can count the ways
|
I want you Did you mean to tell me
|
but seem to forget I want you
|
Since when were you so
|
generous and inarticulate I want you
|
Its the stupid details
|
that my heart is breaking for
|
Its the way your shoulders shake
|
And what theyre shaking for I want you
|
Its knowing that he knows you now
|
after only guessing
|
Its the thought of him
|
undressing you or you undressing
|
I want you He tossed some tatty
|
compliment your way I want you
|
And you were fool enough to love it
|
when he said
|
I want you
|
I want you The truth cant hurt you its just like the dark
|
It scares you witless
|
But in time you see things clear and stark I want you
|
Go on and hurt me then well let it drop I want you
|
Im afraid I wont know where to stop I want you
|
Im not ashamed to say I cried for you I want you
|
I want to know the things you did that we do too I want you
|
I want to hear he pleases you more than I do I want you
|
I might as well be useless
|
for all it means to you I want you
|
Did you call his name out as he held you down
|
I want you
|
Oh no my darling not with that clown
|
I want you
|
I want you Youve had your fun
|
you dont get well no more I want you
|
No-one who wants you
|
could want you more I want you
|
I want you I want you
|
Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up
|
I want you
|
Im going to say it once again til I instill it
|
I know Im going to feel this way until you kill it
|
I want you I want you I want you
