Lyrics
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.
Well, you try to tell me what is right
to help me make it through the night
but when you try to tell me what to do
does it mean that you want me to be just like you?
CHORUS
Is that what you want?
Is that what you wa-ant?
Is that what you want?
Is that what you wa-ant?
You say you want a brand new car
now you want another/diamonds too
will you ever be satisfied?
you always need something new to accrue
CHORUS
Might not know what I say --or-- Listen, girl, to what I say
Can't believe it's gone this way
A stitch in time saves nine, you see
No, it sounds like eight to me
CHORUS
They say that you are sad inside
from the world's pain, no place to hide
We have the choice to turn around
face ourselves, let joy resound
