Elvis Costello – I Want You Chords

Oh, my baby, baby, I love you more than I can tell,
I don’t think I can live with out you, and I know that I never will,
Oh, my baby, baby, I want you so, it scares me to death,
I can’t say anymore than “I love you!”, everything else is a waste of breath

I want you! You had your fun, you don’t get well no more,
I want you! Your fingernails go dragging down the wall,
Be careful, darling, you might fall

I want you! I woke up, and one of us was crying,
I want you! You said, ‘Young man, I do believe you’re dying!’
I want you! If you need a second opinion, as you seem to do, these days,
I want you! You can look in my eyes, and you can count the ways

I want you! Did you mean to tell me, but seem to forget?
I want you! Since when were you so generous, and inarticulate?
I want you, but it’s the stupid details that my heart is breaking for,
It’s the way your shoulders shake, and what they’re shaking for,
I want you! It’s knowing that he knows you now, after only guessing,
It’s the thought of him undressing you, or you undressing

I want you! He tossed some tatty compliment your way,
I want you, and you were fool enough to love it.
When he said, ”I want you!”

I want you! The truth can’t hurt you, it’s just like the dark,
It scares you witless, but, in time, you see things clear and stark,
I want you! Go on, and hurt me, then we’ll let it drop,
I want you! I’m afraid I won’t know where to stop,
I want you! I’m not ashamed to say, I cried for you

I want you! I want to know the things you did, that we did too,
I want you! I want to hear he pleases you more than I do,
I want you! I might as well be useless for all it means to you,
I want you! Did you call his name out as he held you down?
I want you! Oh, no, my darling, not with that clown, I want you!

I want you! You’ve had your fun, you don’t get well no more,
I want you! No one who wants you, could want you more,
I want you! I want you!
I want you! Every night, when I go off to bed,
And when I wake up, I want you!
I’m gonna say it once again, ’til I instill it,
I’m going going to feel this way until you kill it,
I want you! I want you!
I want you!
