Caroline Doctorow I Want You lyrics

The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonesome organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should
refuse you
The cracked bells and the 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
I want you so bad
Honey I want you

The drunken politician leaps
Upon the street where mothers weep
And the saviors who are fast asleep
They wait for you
I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinking from my broken cup
And ask me to
Open up the gate for 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


I'll return to the queen of spades
And talk with my chambermaid
She knows that I am not afraid to
look at her
She is good to me
There's nothing that she doesn't see
She knows where I would like to be
But it doesn't matter
I want you
I want you
I want you so bad
Honey I want you

Now your dancing child with his
Chinese suit
He spoke to me I took his flute
I know I wasn't that cute to him was I
But I did it because he lied
Because he took you for a ride
and because
Time is on his side and because
I want you…
