Not What You Want Lyrics

I am not what you want
There's no telling how long
I am not what you want
There's no telling how long I'll be here
I am not what you want X3
There's no telling how long
I've checked
I've checked to find
I've checked
I've checked to find
I am not for you one
There's no telling how long
Go figure that out
Figure that out
I am not what you want X6
I've checked
I've checked to find
I am not what you want X5
There's no telling how long I'll be here
I am not what you want
There's no eyes in your own head
I'll check
I'll check tonight
I am not what you want
There's no telling how long I'll be here
I am not what you want
There's no eyes in your head
In your head
At least I cannot see them
In your head
I'm not what you want
I'll get
Nothing X3
Tonight
I'm not what you want
There's no telling how long I'll be here
Be here
At least I cannot see them

The rawness in her voice is amazing in this song. I love when she sings louder, almost as if she's shouting at him in a room.

She's very talented. Was introduced to her about 2 years ago and then checked out all her songs. Impressive artist. Just wish indie" artists had better venues for discovery.

Easily one of my favorite Cat Power songs with the amazing build up of emotions Chan gives. It's incredible. It's also incredible to sing along to.

intense.

most emotional cat power song ever?

god i love her.

The most harrowing song I've ever heard.

Minimalistic, repetetive and brimming with pain and loneliness - just what Chan does best.

I think this is a song that pretty much anyone can relate to as well - the disease that is unrequieted love, or even lost love is one of the most painful things human beings can go through. For me, this PERFECTLY conveys that feeling.
