Lyrics

[00:15.990] The guilty undertaker sighs,
[00:18.350] The lonesome organ grinder cries,
[00:20.840] The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.
[00:25.470] The cracked bells and washed-out horns
[00:28.120] Blow into my face with scorn,
[00:30.380] But it's not that way,
[00:31.390] I wasn't born to lose you.
[00:35.230] I want you, I want you,
[00:39.870] I want you so bad,
[00:44.900] Honey, I want you.
[00:49.690] The drunken politician leaps
[00:52.260] Upon the street where mothers weep
[00:54.600] And the saviors who are fast asleep,
[00:57.460] They wait for you.
[00:59.520] And I wait for them to interrupt
[01:01.880] Me drinkin' from my broken cup
[01:04.330] And ask me to
[01:05.790] Open up the gate for you.
[01:08.960] I want you, I want you,
[01:13.510] I want you so bad,
[01:17.770] Honey, I want you.
[01:23.320] Now all my fathers, they've gone down
[01:25.780] True love they've been without it.
[01:28.250] But all their daughters put me down
[01:30.500] 'Cause I don't think about it.
[01:33.950] Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
[01:39.310] And talk with my chambermaid.
[01:41.690] She knows that I'm not afraid
[01:43.570] To look at her.
[01:46.560] She is good to me
[01:48.720] And there's nothing she doesn't see.
[01:51.110] She knows where I'd like to be
[01:52.940] But it doesn't matter.
[01:55.810] I want you, I want you,
[01:59.979] I want you so bad,
[02:04.320] Honey, I want you.
[02:08.699] Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit,
[02:12.510] He spoke to me, I took his flute.
[02:15.100] No, I wasn't very cute to him,
[02:17.150] Was I?
[02:19.920] But I did it, though, because he lied
[02:22.440] Because he took you for a ride
[02:25.110] And because time was on his side
[02:27.590] And because I . . .
[02:29.670] I want you, I want you,
[02:33.590] I want you so bad,
[02:38.700] Honey, I want you.
