[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Now, the guilty undertaker sighs
The lonesome organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn
But anyhow
I wasn t born to lose you
[Chorus]
But I want you
Yeah, I want you
Yeah, I want you so bad
Honey, I want you
[Verse 2]
Well, the drunken politician s meet
Upon the street where mothers weep
And saviors are fast asleep
They wait for you
I wait for them to interrupt
I m drinkin from my broken cup
And they ask me to
Open up the gates for you
[Chorus]
Well, I want you
Honey, I want you
Baby, I want you so bad
Honey, I want you
Yeah, baby I want you
Honey, I want you so bad
Baby, I want you
[Refrain]
Now all the mothers, they ve gone down
True love, they ve been without it
And all their fathers they put me down
But I don t think about it
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Now, your darling child in his Chinese suit
He spoke to me, and I took his flute
But, I wasn t that cute to him, was I?
But I did it just because he lied
And because he took you for a ride
And time was on his side, and because I...
[Chorus]
Want you
Baby, I want you
Honey, I want you so bad
Baby, I want you, yeah
Yeah, I want you
Yeah, I want you so bad
Yeah, I want you
