I Want You

The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonely 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 it's not that way
I wasn't born to lose you
I want you, I want you
Darling I want you so bad
The drunken politicians leap
Upon the street where mothers weep
And the saviors who are fast asleep
They wait for you
And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin' from my broken cup
And ask me to
Open up the gate for you
I want you, I want you
Darling I want you so bad
Now all my fathers, they've gone down
True love, they've been without it
And all their daughters they still put me down
'Cause I think about it
Well, I return to the queen of spades
Talk with my chambermaid
She knows that I'm not afraid
To look at her
She's good to me
There's nothing she don't see
She knows where I'd rather be
But that doesn't matter
Your dancing child with his Chinese suit
He spoke to me, I stole his flute
No, I wasn't that cute to him
Was I?
I did it though, because he lied
Because he took you for a ride
Because time was on his side
Because...
I want you, I want you
I want you so bad
