What I Want Lyrics & Chords By Will Butler

Tell me what you want babe and I will get it
Though it might take 3-5 business days, maybe longer
I forget cause my head's in a bit of a haze
Since I let you down I don't know where I am going
I don't know where I lost my shoes
I'm distracted by this one, particular shade of blue
I bet you're wondering if I remember
Oh well I remember just about everything
Except what time it was
And where we were oh and one more thing

I will tell you what I want, what I wanted to say
I will tell you if it's okay, if it's okay, if it's okay

If you come and take my hand I will buy you a pony
We can cook it, for supper
I know this great recipe for pony macaroni
Later on we can walk the beach
Oh you know that we can walk along the waves out to Greenland
You can bury me there in an icy grave
I'm so hot these days but sometimes oh
I get, so cold I've been told
It's a side effect from staring into the sun too long
If you told me that there was a war I would fight for you
If you told me that there was a war, I would fight until we were all free
Until we were all free
I said what about Tuesday night, are you free?

My body's not prepared for this
I can feel my heart beat out of my chest
I apologize if I get heart blood all over your nice floral dress
But it's not my fault so don't blame me, don't blame me
Don't blame me cause it's not my fault, it's your fault

Now I'm not saying that we should rush this
I'm not suggesting that we should start having kids but maybe
We could think about getting a dog
Or a fish tank or a jar of squids
Or maybe just a chicken coop full of alligators
I will go along with whatever you say
I'm not a details man I just wanna hang around
And maybe get a chance to hold your hand don't tell me I've, made a mistake

I will tell you what I want, what I wanted to say
I will tell you if it's okay, if it's okay, if it's okay

I will tell you if it's not too late if it's not too, not too late
I will tell if it's okay, if it's okay, if it's okay, if it's okay
