Pulp » I Want You Lyrics
Hey, / you can look, you can look just like anyone else
if that's what you want to do. / I,
I could laugh, I could laugh in your face if I want / oh, but I'm not going to.
([backing vocals:] ba ba ba ba)
When we met last week on Saturday,
([backing vocals:] ba ba ba ba)
I couldn't make a sentence, / I couldn't even say / what I meant to say:
that I want you / (it doesn't hurt to say I want you), I need you
(I never thought I'd say I need you), I'll keep you,
oh yes I'll keep you and I'll throw myself away, away, away,
and I'll break you / because I lose myself inside you, I'll make you
fit in the space that I provide you, I'll take you,
oh yes, I'll take you just to push you far away, away, away.
Yes, / yes, you're all, yes you're all that I ever desire,
still I'll kill you in the end.
When, / when it seems, when it seems that it's getting too soft,
when you lapse into a friend,
([backing vocals:] ba ba ba ba)
There's someone just behind the door
([backing vocals:] ba ba ba ba)
so don't betray your feelings, / no don't talk anymore,
never dare to say / that I want you
(it doesn't hurt to say I want you), I need you
(I never thought I'd say I need you), I'll keep you,
oh yes I'll keep you and I'll throw myself away, away, away,
and I'll break you / because I lose myself inside you, I'll make you
fit in the space that I provide you, I'll take you,
oh yes, I'll take you just to push you far away, away, away.
Now, / now we come, now we come to the end of it all,
see it squirming, almost dead.
No, / you can't leave, you can't leave it to die here in pain.
You've got to stamp upon it's head.
([backing vocals:] ba ba ba ba)
I'll go out and you'll stay home
([backing vocals:] ba ba ba ba)
facing up to living, / living on your own, / and I'll curse my pride,
curse my pride, / curse my stupid pride / because I want you
(it doesn't hurt to say I want you), I need you
(I never thought I'd say I need you), I'll keep you,
oh yes I'll keep you and I'll throw myself away, away, away, and I'll break you
because I lose myself inside you, I'll make you
fit in the space that I provide you, I'll take you,
oh yes, I'll take you just to push you far away, away, away.
if that's what you want to do. / I,
I could laugh, I could laugh in your face if I want / oh, but I'm not going to.
