I Want You

The guilty undertaker sighs

The lonesome organ grinder cries

The silver saxophone says I should refuse ya

All the cracked bells and washed-out horns

Blow into my face with scorn

But it's not the way

I wasn't born to lose ya

I want you, I want you

I want you so bad

Honey, I want ya

The drunken politicians leap

Upon the street where mothers weep

And the saviours who are fast asleep

They wait for you

And I wait for them to interrupt

Me drinkin' from my broken cup

Ask me to open up the gate for you

I want you, I want you

I want you, so bad

Honey, I want you

Now all my fathers, they've gone down

True love, they've been without it

But all their daughters put me down

'Cause I don't think about it

Well, I'll return to the Queen of Spades

Talk with my chambermaid

She knows that I'm not afraid to look at her

She is no good to me

There's nothing that she doesn't see

She knows where I'd like to be

But it doesn't matter

'Cause I want you, I want you

I want you, so bad

Honey, I want you

Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit

Spoke to me, as I took his flute

I wasn't very cute to him, now was I?

But I did it though because he lied

And because he took you for a ride

Because the time was on his side

And because I

I want ya, I want you

I want you, so bad

Honey, I want you
