Elvis Costello - I Want You lyrics

I want you<br><br>Oh my baby baby I love you more than I can tell<br>I don't think I can live without you<br>And I know that I never will<br>Oh my baby baby I want you so it scares me to death<br>I can't say anymore than I love you<br>Everything else is a waste of breath<br>I want you<br>You've had your fun you don't get well no more<br>I want you<br>Your fingernails go dragging down the wall<br>Be careful darling you might fall<br>I want you<br>I woke up and one of us was crying<br>I want you<br>You said young man I do believe you're dying<br>I want you<br>If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days<br>You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways<br>I want you<br>Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget<br>I want you<br>Since when were you so generous and inarticulate<br>I want you<br>It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for<br>It's the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for<br>It's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing<br>I want you<br>It's the thought of him undressing you or you undressing<br>I want you<br>He tossed some tatty compliment your way<br>I want you<br>And you were fool enough to love it when he said<br>I want you<br>I want you<br>The truth can't hurt you it's just like the dark<br>It scares you witless<br>But in time you see things clear and stark<br>I want you<br>Go on and hurt me then we'll let it drop<br>I want you<br>I'm afraid I won't know where to stop<br>I want you<br>I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you<br>I want you<br>I want to know the things you did that we do too<br>I want you<br>I want to hear he pleases you more than I do<br>I want you<br>I might as well be useless for all it means to you<br>I want you<br>Did you call his name out as he held you down<br>I want you<br>Oh no my darling not with that clown<br>I want you<br>You've had your fun you don't get well no more<br>I want you<br>No-one who wants you could want you more<br>I want you<br>Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up<br>I want you<br>I want you<br>I'm going to say it once again 'til I instill it<br>I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it<br>I want you<br>I want you
