What You Want

What You Want

If that’s what you need to do then do it
I’m not gonna sit here and you know and
and beg you and plead with you. Unbelievable!

You’re talkin’.
I’m telling you how I feel.
So hear what I’m going through.

You haven’t been talkin’ yet you’ve done nothing
but like gone crazy went in circles.
Crazy and simple you know what
I’m talking about my job.

What’s going on with your job?
What’s goin’ on with your job
they cut you like one hour a week?
What’s goin’ on Oh My God
What’s goin’ on Oh My God

Are you sure? Very sure? Pressure point
One two three four five six seven eight nine OK?
You don’t hurt anymore
Better. Why? You don’t hurt anymore
Why? Better you don’t hurt anymore

Mommy, mommy. Think back.
I can see that you’re in charge.
Oh I’m very much in charge. I’m very much in
charge except in my own life. You can deal with this.
I have no choice. I fire my assistant and I fire people
that don’t even work for me.
I’m very much out of control.
I’m so out of control I pay my therapist. My own
therapist won’t even take my calls. He won’t even help
me anymore. Oh My God. Have a lovely day.

They all have names
MySpace profiles. That they maintain themselves.
You are very talented-you are very talented.
You’re never goin’ back-keep goin’ back
You’re never goin’ back-keep goin’ back
You are very talented

I don’t know what you want from me
I don’t know what you want from me

You may be feeling better
You may be feeling better
You may be feeling better but your risk never goes away
You may be feeling better but your risk never goes away
