Oh my baby baby, I want you so it scares me to tell I can’t say anymore than “I love you” Everything else is a waste of breath I want you You’ve had your fun you don’t get well no more I want you Your fingernails go dragging down the wall I want you I woke up and one of us was crying I want you You said “Little girl, I do believe you’re dying” I want you If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways I want you 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 It’s the stupid details that my heart is breaking for It’s the way your shoulders shake and what they’re shaking for It’s knowing that she knows you now after only guessing It’s the thought of her undressing you or you undressing She tossed some tatty compliment your way I want you And you were fool enough to love it when she said “I want you” I want you I want you The truth can’t hurt you it’s just like the dark It scares you witless But in time you’ll see things clear and stark I want you Go on and hurt me then we’ll let it drop I want you I’m afraid I won’t know where to stop I’m not ashamed to say I cried for you I want you I want you I might as well be useless for all it means to you I want youYou’ve had your fun you don’t get well no more I want you No one else who wants you could want you more I want you Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up I want you I want you I’m going to say it once again ‘til I instill it I know I’m going to feel this way until you kill it
