Want not want not want not
You can take my house away I don't care
You can take my job away I don't care
You can make my money I don't care
Might as well make my boyfriend I don't care
Want not want not want not
You can take my picture I don't care
You can have my attitude I don't care
The limousine I never ride in I don't care
Go ahead fix my wagon I don't care
Want not want not want not
I wish there was a true love
I wish there was a great art
I wish there always was enough
But I'd not want if I were smart
Want not want not want not
Holy mackerel isn't that Schneeschnaw over there
She's got my face on she's got my hair
She took what I had my cupboard bare
It's want she wanted I don't care
How much you got I got three
You'll probably take it away from me
I seen what happens you'll be sorry
You'll get what I got don't worry
Want not want not want not
