When I Want Lyrics

Please, lets not get into this tonight
See, its easy and its what you like

Don’t call me foolish ‘cos I’m not
Just be the lover when I want
If I’m hated, well it’s not my fault
I swear

Now, don’t you go and think its love
Well how… did you think that’s where I’m coming from

Don’t call me foolish ‘cos I’m not
Just be the lover when I want
If I’m hated, well it’s not my fault
I swear

I swear
(I swear)

[Solo]

(yeah, yeah, yeah)

Well, this doesn’t have to be a fight
Won’t you stay? You could go home alone, but why?

Don’t call me foolish ‘cos I’m not
Be the lover when I want
If you hate me, well it’s not my fault
I swear

(I swear)

Don’t call me foolish ‘cos I’m not (I’m not)
Be the lover when I want (I want)
If you hate me, well it’s not my fault,
I swear

I swear…

this is on the special edition 'Futures' it's the second bonus track after 'Shame' Its only a short song, about 2 and a half minutes, but its very good. worth a listen if u can get hold of it.

This is a Go Big Casino song, redone in Jimmy Eat World form. This really makes me want a full-length GBC album.

Hint: Go Big Casino is Jim Adkins side-project.

Nice tune. Anyone think the 'whey's' in the background sound like a cameo from Noel Gallagher?? pretty close to it

this is sooo good. If it is GBC, its thier best so far. I felt thier songs on B.A were some of the weakest on the album.
