Lyrics

[ti:I want you]
[ar:elvis costello]
[00:00.30] Oh my baby baby I love you more than I can tell
[00:12.33] I don't think I can live without you
[00:18.95] And I know that I never will
[00:23.00] Oh my baby baby I want you so it scares me to death
[00:38.37] I can't say anymore than 'I love you'
[00:45.46] Everything else is a waste of breath
[00:55.16] I want you
[00:57.32] You've had your fun you don't get well no more
[01:03.30] I want you
[01:05.34] Your fingernails go dragging down the wall
[01:13.21] Be careful darling you might fall
[01:21.34] I want you
[01:23.68] I woke up and one of us was crying
[01:29.68] I want you
[01:31.67] You said 'Young man I do believe you're dying'
[01:37.40] I want you
[01:39.37] If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days
[01:45.24] I want you
[01:47.27] You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways
[02:00.52] I want you
[02:02.72] Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget
[02:06.60] I want you
[02:10.49] Since when were you so generous and inarticulate
[02:16.30] I want you
[02:18.27] It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for
[02:25.74] It's the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for
[02:32.12] I want you
[02:33.92] It's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing
[02:41.39] It's the thought of him undressing you or you undressing
[02:55.26] I want you
[02:57.25] He tossed some tatty compliment your way
[03:03.23] I want you
[03:04.94] And you were fool enough to love it when he said
[03:14.75] 'I want you'
[03:29.91] I want you
[03:32.21] The truth can't hurt you it's just like the dark
[03:38.16] It scares you witless
[03:40.27] But in time you see things clear and stark
[03:46.14] I want you
[03:48.02] Go on and hurt me then we'll let it drop
[03:54.05] I want you
[03:56.33] I'm afraid I won't know where to stop
[04:01.97] I want you
[04:03.70] I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you
[04:09.50] I want you
[04:11.13] I want to know the things you did that we do too
[04:17.01] I want you
[04:18.64] I want to hear he pleases you more than I do
[04:24.61] I want you
[04:26.20] I might as well be useless for all it means to you
[04:32.19] I want you
[04:33.83] Did you call his name out as he held you down
[04:39.95] I want you
[04:41.59] Oh no my darling not with that clown
[04:47.46] I want you
[05:03.63] I want you
[05:05.24] No-one who wants you could want you more
[05:20.03] I want you
[05:27.40] I want you
[05:30.90] I want you
[05:33.48] Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up
[05:43.14] I want you
[05:48.87] I'm going to say it once again 'till I instill it
[05:57.12] I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it
[06:06.95] I want you
[06:14.46] I want you
[06:22.67] I want you
