Lyrics

[00:00.32] Oh my baby baby I love you more than I can tell
[00:12.87] I don't think I can live without you
[00:19.43] And I know that I never will
[00:26.15] Oh my baby baby I want you so it scares me to death
[00:38.80] I can't say anymore than "I love you"
[00:45.88] Everything else is a waste of breath
[00:51.86]
[00:56.29] I want you
[00:57.82] You've had your fun you don't get well no more
[01:03.72] I want you
[01:05.90] Your fingernails go dragging down the wall
[01:13.43] Be careful darling you might fall
[01:21.67] I want you
[01:24.15] I woke up and one of us was crying
[01:30.08] I want you
[01:32.06] You said "Young man I do believe you're dying"
[01:37.86] I want you
[01:39.67] If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days
[01:45.55] I want you
[01:47.57] You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways
[01:55.77]
[02:00.87] I want you
[02:03.06] Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget
[02:08.97] I want you
[02:10.76] Since when were you so generous and inarticulate
[02:16.64] I want you
[02:18.72] It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for
[02:26.10] It's the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for
[02:32.21] I want you
[02:34.22] It's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing
[02:41.70] It's the thought of him undressing you or you undressing
[02:49.84]
[02:55.26] I want you
[02:57.64] He tossed some tatty compliment your way
[03:03.28] I want you
[03:05.37] And you were fool enough to love it when he said
[03:14.99] "I want you"
[03:25.77]
[03:30.06] I want you
[03:32.46] The truth can't hurt you it's just like the dark
[03:38.38] It scares you witless
[03:41.90] But in time you see things clear and stark
[03:46.32] I want you
[03:48.28] Go on and hurt me then we'll let it drop
[03:54.22] I want you
[03:56.44] I'm afraid I won't know where to stop
[04:02.16] I want you
[04:03.98] I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you
[04:09.63] I want you
[04:11.56] I want to know the things you did that we do too
[04:17.19] I want you
[04:19.09] I want to hear he pleases you more than I do
[04:24.75] I want you
[04:26.68] I might as well be useless for all it means to you
[04:32.40] I want you
[04:33.95] Did you call his name out as he held you down
[04:40.20] I want you
[04:41.94] Oh no my darling not with that clown
[04:47.70] I want you
[04:54.84]
[04:55.25] I want you
[04:57.38] You've had your fun you don't get well no more
[05:03.33] I want you
[05:05.96] No-one who wants you could want you more
[05:17.68]
[05:20.11] I want you
[05:27.33] I want you
[05:31.69] I want you
[05:33.81] Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up
[05:43.12] I want you
[05:48.85] I'm going to say it once again 'til I instill it
[05:56.93] I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it
[06:06.73] I want you
[06:14.54] I want you
[06:22.76] I want you
