I Want You Lyrics

Hey, / you can look, you can look just like anyone else 

 if that's what you want to do. / I, 

 I could laugh, I could laugh in your face if I want / oh, but I'm not going to. 

 ([backing vocals:] ba ba ba ba) 

 When we met last week on Saturday, 

 ([backing vocals:] ba ba ba ba) 

 I couldn't make a sentence, / I couldn't even say / what I meant to say: 

 that I want you / (it doesn't hurt to say I want you), I need you 

 (I never thought I'd say I need you), I'll keep you, 

 oh yes I'll keep you and I'll throw myself away, away, away, 

 and I'll break you / because I lose myself inside you, I'll make you 

 fit in the space that I provide you, I'll take you, 

 oh yes, I'll take you just to push you far away, away, away. 

 Yes, / yes, you're all, yes you're all that I ever desire, 

 still I'll kill you in the end. 

 When, / when it seems, when it seems that it's getting too soft, 

 when you lapse into a friend, 

 ([backing vocals:] ba ba ba ba) 

 There's someone just behind the door 

 ([backing vocals:] ba ba ba ba) 

 so don't betray your feelings, / no don't talk anymore, 

 never dare to say / that I want you 

 (it doesn't hurt to say I want you), I need you 

 (I never thought I'd say I need you), I'll keep you, 

 oh yes I'll keep you and I'll throw myself away, away, away, 

 and I'll break you / because I lose myself inside you, I'll make you 

 fit in the space that I provide you, I'll take you, 

 oh yes, I'll take you just to push you far away, away, away. 

 Now, / now we come, now we come to the end of it all, 

 see it squirming, almost dead. 

 No, / you can't leave, you can't leave it to die here in pain. 

 You've got to stamp upon it's head. 

 ([backing vocals:] ba ba ba ba) 

 I'll go out and you'll stay home 

 ([backing vocals:] ba ba ba ba) 

 facing up to living, / living on your own, / and I'll curse my pride, 

 curse my pride, / curse my stupid pride / because I want you 

 (it doesn't hurt to say I want you), I need you 

 (I never thought I'd say I need you), I'll keep you, 

 oh yes I'll keep you and I'll throw myself away, away, away, and I'll break you 

 because I lose myself inside you, I'll make you 

 fit in the space that I provide you, I'll take you, 

 oh yes, I'll take you just to push you far away, away, away.
