Lyrics

What was it you wanted tell me again so I'll know
What's happening in there what's going on in your show
What was it you wanted could you say it again
I'll be back in a minute you can get it together by then

What was it you wanted you can tell me I'm back
We can start it all over get it back on the track
You got my attention go ahead speak
What was it you wanted when you were kissing my cheek

Was there somebody looking when you give me that kiss
Someone there in the shadows someone that I might have missed
Is there something you needed something I don't understand
What was it you wanted do I have it here in my hand

Whatever you wanted slipped out of my mind
Would you remind me again if you'd be so kind
Has the record been breaking did the needle just skip
Is there somebody waitin' was there a slip of the lip

What was it you wanted I ain't keepin' score
Are you the same person that was here before
Is it something important maybe not
What was it you wanted tell me again I forgot
[ harmonica ]
Whatever you wanted what could it be
Did somebody tell you that you could get it from me
Is it something that comes natural is it easy to say
Why do you want it who are you anyway

Is the scenery changing am I gettin' it wrong
Is the whole thing going backwards are they playing our song
Where were you when it started do you want it for free
What was it you wanted are you talking to me
[ harmonica - guitar ]
