What Do You Want From Me? Lyrics
My greatest fear is we're just wasting tears
Wasting several years, still being round here
My greatest fear is maybe you will notice
I'm not what you wanted after all these years
But I, I've got a very big hope for us
I'm gonna keep looking up for us
It's been a difficult year
And I, I still wanna make love with you
So where do we go from here?
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
I, I still think I belong with you,
I still wanna belong to you
So what do you want from me
What do you want from me now?
Your greatest fear is we're not getting wiser,
We're not wise at all
It's getting harder, harder to recover
From the night before, when you turn me on
But I, I like to think of us moving on
I like to think of us getting on
So answer me where do we go from here,
Where do we go?
Because I, I still wanna get old with you
I still want us to grow
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
I, I still think I'm in love with you
I still feel you're the one
So what do you want from me,
What do you want from me now?
Has it crossed your mind we might already know?
If we only let it go?
Yeah I, I still wanna have sex with you
I still wanna go out with you
So what do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
I, I think some days we're beautiful
I think some days we're not
So what do you want from me?
What do you want from me now?
Let's make it positive
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me now?
We're making progress here, so where shall we go?
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me now?
Wasting several years, still being round here
My greatest fear is maybe you will notice
I'm not what you wanted after all these years
I'm gonna keep looking up for us
It's been a difficult year
So where do we go from here?
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
I, I still think I belong with you,
I still wanna belong to you
So what do you want from me
What do you want from me now?
We're not wise at all
It's getting harder, harder to recover
From the night before, when you turn me on
I like to think of us getting on
So answer me where do we go from here,
Where do we go?
I still want us to grow
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
I, I still think I'm in love with you
I still feel you're the one
So what do you want from me,
What do you want from me now?
If we only let it go?
I still wanna go out with you
So what do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
I, I think some days we're beautiful
I think some days we're not
So what do you want from me?
What do you want from me now?
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me now?
We're making progress here, so where shall we go?
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me now?
