Lyrics
What You 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.
You're softer than a cannon blast
But your effects much longer last
And I want you just like a hole in my head
But I need you like a meal and a bed
And you say, "Come on, I'm not what you're after."
But I know you're not just anyone, anyone
(chorus)
But I'm not what you want
No, I'm not anyone
But if you needed me
Then I could be someone
And you're an army in a horse
And you have taken me by force
And all the freedom in this world could not resist
The sweet temptation of your sweet elusiveness
So I say "Come on!" as the gate swings open
Cause I know you're not just anyone, anyone
(bridge)
And the lie's always cheaper than the truth
But the lie's all I've ever known of you
Maybe none of this is true
