I Want You

Guilty undertaker sighs

Lonesome organ grinder cries

Silver saxophones say I

Should refuse you

And the cracked bells and washed-out horns

Blow into my face with scorn

It's not that way, I wasn't born

To lose you

I want you, I want you

Baby, I want you so bad

I want you

Drunken politician leaps

Upon the streets where mothers weep

And the saviors who are fast asleep

They wait for you

And I wait for them to interrupt

Me drinkin' from my broken cup

And ask me to open up

The gate for you

I want you, baby, I want you

Baby, I want you so bad

I want you

And all the fathers, they've gone down

True love they're without it

And all the daughters put me down

'Cause I don't think about it

I return to the Queen o' Spades

And talk with my chambermaid

And she knows I'm not afraid

To look at 'er

And she is good to me

There's nothin' that she don't see

She knows where I'd like to be

But it doesn't matter

I want you, baby, I want you

Baby, I want you so bad

I want you, I want you

Baby, I want you so bad

I want you

Dancin' child with a Chinese suit

I spoke to him, I took his flute

No, I wasn't very cute

To him, was I?

I did it, though, because he lied

And 'cause he took you for a ride

'Cause time was on his side

And 'cause I

Want you, I want you

Baby, I want you so bad

I want you, baby, I want you

Baby, I want you so bad

I want you, I want you

Baby, I want you so bad

I want you
