I Want You

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, "young man, I do believe you're dying"
I want you
If you need a second opinion, as you seem to do these days
I want you
You can look into 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
It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for
I want you
It's the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for
I want you
It's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing
It's the thought of him undressing you, or you undressing him

I want you
Did he toss some tatty compliment your way?
I want you
And you were fool enough to love it when he said
I want you

And 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 want you
I'm 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 dead for all it means to you
I want you
Did you call his name out as he held you down?
I want you
I want you
I want you
I want you

I want you
You've had your fun, you don't get well no more
I want you
No-one who wants you could want you more
