What I Want
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Let me your morning only
That’s what I want
Yeah, that’s what I want
You don’t have to look no further
That’s what I want
Yeah, that’s what I want
No runnin’, no runnin’
No runnin’, no runnin’
That’s what I want
Yeah, that’s what I want
Unless I’m the only one you come running
Come running to
That’s what I want
That’s what I want
That’s what I want
Yeah, that’s what I want
Do your heart skip a beat
Are you feeling the rush
Don’t pretend that what you want is
Something you can’t rouch
This is so complicated
One and one is me and you
I could go on and on
But I already know what you wanna do
And oh
I already know that you’re feeling what you feel
Yeah
Oh
And if you don’t feel it now
I know you’ll feel it later
Make me wanna put my hands up
Make me wanna testify
Don’t know how I know it baby
But I know I’m right
Right
That’s what I want
That’s what I want
Let me your morning only
That’s what I want
Yeah, that’s what I want
You don’t have to look no further
That’s what I want
Yeah, that’s what I want
No runnin’, no runnin’
No runnin’, no runnin’
That’s what I want
Yeah, that’s what I want
Unless I’m the only one you come running
Come running to
That’s what I want
That’s what I want
That’s what I want
Yeah, that’s what I want
There ain’t no time for games
There ain’t no time for pride
I know you’ve been hurt before
But that’s before my time
This is so complicated
It don’t take a phd
I swear that I’ll be good to you
If you promise to be good to me
And oh
I already know that you’re feeling what you feel
Yeah
Oh
And if you don’t feel it now
I know you’ll feel it later
Make me wanna put my hands up
Make me wanna testify
Don’t know how I know it baby
But I know I’m right
Right
That’s what I want
That’s what I want
That’s what I want
Yeah, that’s what I want
That’s what I want
Yeah, that’s what I want
Let me your morning only
That’s what I want
Yeah, that’s what I want
You don’t have to look no further
That’s what I want
Yeah, that’s what I want
No runnin’, no runnin’
No runnin’, no runnin’
That’s what I want
Yeah, that’s what I want
Unless I’m the only one you come running
Come running to
That’s what I want
That’s what I want
That’s what I want
Yeah, that’s what I want
