Lyrics
Oh my baby, baby I love you more than I can tell I don't think I can live without you And I know that I never will Oh my baby, baby I want you so it scares me to death I can't say anymore than I love you Everything else is a waste of breath I want you You've had your fun you don't get well no more I want you Your fingernails go dragging down the wall Be careful darling you might fall I want you I woke up and one of us was crying I want you You said young man I do believe you're dying I want you If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days I want you You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways I want you Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget I want you Since when were you so generous and inarticulate I want you It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for It's the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for I want you It's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing It's the thought of him undressing you or you undressing I want you He tossed some tatty compliment your way I want you And you were fool enough to love it when he said I want you I want you The truth can't hurt you it's just like the dark It scares you witless But in time you see things clear and stark I want you Go on and hurt me then we'll let it drop I want you I'm afraid I won't know where to stop I want you I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you I want you I want to know the things you did that we do too I want you I want to hear he pleases you more than I do I want you I might as well be useless for all it means to you I want you Did you call his name out as he held you down I want you Oh no, my darling, not with that clown I want you You've had your fun you don't get well no more I want you No one who wants you could want you more I want you I want you I want you Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up I want you I'm going to say it once again 'til I instill it I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it I want you I want you I want you
