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
Oh so bad

Baby, I want you

Once a politician leaves

Upon the street where mothers weep
The saviours who are fast asleep
They wait for you

And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin from my broken cup
And askin me to open up the gate for you


Woh baby I want you
I want you

I want you
Oh, so bad
Baby I want you


Now all my fathers, they've gone down
True love they've been without it

But all their daughters put me down
'Cause I don't think about it


Baby I want you
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit
He spoke to me, I took his flute

No, I wasn't very cute to him now was I

I did it because he lied

Because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side
And because I want you, baby I want you


I want you
