I Want You

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I really want you, I really want youMany prophets preach on bended knee.Many clerics wasted wine.Do the bloodied sheets on those cobbled streets meanI have wasted time?Are there silver shores of paradise?Can I come in from the cold?I killed a man in a faraway land,My enemy I'm told.I really want you to really want me,But I really don't know if you can do that.I know you want to know what's right,But I know its so hard for you to do that.And time's running out, as often it does,and often dictates that you can't do that,But fate can't break this feeling inside,That's burning up through my veins.I really want you, I really want you.I really want you, now.No matter what I say or do,The message isn't getting through,And you're listening to the sound,Of my breaking heart.I really want you, I really want youIs a poor man rich in solitude,Or does Mother Earth complain?Did the beggar pray for a sunny day,But lady luck for rain?They say a million people bow and scrape,To an effigy of gold.I saw life begin in the ship we're in and,History unfold.I really want you to really want me,But I really don't know if you can do that.I know you want to know what's right,But I know its so hard for you to do that.And time's running out, as often it does,and often dictates that you can't do that,But fate can't break this feeling inside,That's burning up through my veins.I really want you, I really want you.I really want you, now.No matter what I say or do,The message isn't getting through,And you're listening to the sound,Of my breaking heart.No matter what I say or doThe message isn't getting throughAnd you're listening to the soundOf my breaking heartI really want youI really want youI really want youBy Rafael e Jefferson
