What You Wanted

You said: “I know that I want it & I live like I love it, but when I’m sad, that changes When I want some peace or truth I’m constantly assailed, assailed” “And I’m wanting wanting waiting waiting wanting: love deferred” – But I won’t stay: “No” [Chorus] You never say just what you wanted when you want it And I never talked to you when I was sore about it Ohhhh I don’t wanna wait until the dawn and tell myself I’ll learn by morning But I never listened to myself and never said one word about it Change has come and changed just how I look upon myself Ya you could have lived happily & gone to somewhere else, someone else, somewhere else But who would stand for me if, if you weren’t standing there? Say “no”, say “it won’t ever be, won’t ever be that way”! But talking how it (could be) different’s more that words it’s more like willing for the time to steal away Now I see your face in everything and make a song, make a song sing it far away [Chorus] You never say just what you wanted when you want it And I never talked to you when I was sore about it Ohhhh I don’t wanna wait until the dawn and tell myself I’ll learn by morning But I never listened to myself and never said one word about it Said I know that I want it, but the soon as I got it It'll change, I hate it Everyttime I see some proof, oh God, I want that one to beg I want that chase, want that bad And I know it's lame, this basic job, I'm so obsessed Yeah, I know it's so absurd But when I love it, I love it All I want is that loving, girl But I won't stay No, But I Won't stay No, but I won't stay No, you can never say just what you want when I want you [Chorus] You never say just what you wanted when you want it And I never talked to you when I was sore about it Ohhhh I don’t wanna wait until the dawn and tell myself I’ll learn by morning But I never listened to myself and never said one word about it
