What You Wanted
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.
I've been thinking 'bout a time
A time that we once knew
Been thinking for a while
That it's here if we wanted
If we know that we wanted
Yes it's here, if you wanted
But i'm pretty sure i don't
Right now, what you wanted
It's not what i wanted
Right now, what you wanted
It's not what i wanted
Right now, what you wanted
It's not what i wanted
Now or ever, now or forever
No, i never had the chance
To prove my innocence,
To prove my inner sensitivity
We all got mistaken,
Maybe liberties were taken
All the good time was mistaken
But will you admit it too
Right now, what you wanted
It's not what i wanted
Right now, what you wanted
It's not what i wanted
Right now, what you wanted
It's not what i wanted
Now or ever, now or forever
I could give you anything except
(what you wanted, not what you wanted)
I would give you everything except
(what you wanted, not what you wanted)
Show me how you feel, girl
(what you wanted, not what you wanted)
Show me something real, girl
(what you wanted, not what you wanted)
Right now!
Right now!
Right now!
Now or ever, now or forever!
Right now, what you wanted
It's not what i wanted
Right now, what you wanted
It's not what i wanted
Right now, what you wanted
It's not what i wanted
Now or ever, now or forever
