I Want You Lyrics - Sophie B. Hawkins

Guilty undertaker sighs 

Lonely organ grinder cries 

Silver saxophones say I 

I should refuse you 

Cracked bells and washed out horns 

Blow into my face with scorn 

It's not that way 

I wasn't born to lose you 

I want you 

I want you 

Darling, I want you 

So bad 

Drunken politicians leap 

Onto the street where mothers weep 

And saviors who are fast asleep 

They wait for you 

And I'll wait for them to interrupt me 

Drinking from my broken cup 

And ask me 

To open up the gate for you 

I want you 

I want you 

Darling, I want you 

So bad 

I want you 

Darling, I want you, oh 

I want you 

Oh, so bad 

Now all my fathers, they've gone down 

True love, they've been without it 

And all their daughters, they still put me down 

'Cause I think about it 

I will return to the queen of spades 

Talk with my chamber maid 

She knows that I'm not afraid to look at her 

She's good to me 

There's nothing she don't see 

She knows where I would rather be 

But that doesn't matter 

Your dancing child with his Chinese suit 

He spoke to me, I stole his flute 

No, I wasn't that cute to him, was I? 

I did it though because he lied 

Because he took you for a ride 

Because time was on his side 

Because, I want you 

Darling, I want you 

I want you, oh I want you 

I want you, so bad 

Oh, don't joke with me now, baby 

I want you 

I want you 

Let's go home 

I want you 

I want you 

I want you
