The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonesome organ
grinder cries
The silver saxophones
say I should refuse you
The cracked bells and
washedout horns
Blow into my face with scorn
But it's not that way
I wasn't born to lose you
I want you
I want you
I want you so bad
Honey I want you
The drunken politician leaps
Upon the street where
mothers weep
And the saviors who are
fast asleep
They wait for you
And I wait for them
to interrupt
Me drinkin' from my
broken cup
And ask me
to Open up the gate for you
I want you
I want you
I want you so bad
Honey I want you
Now all my fathers
they've gone down
True love they've been
without it
But all their daughters
put me down
Cause I don't think about it
Well I return
to the Queen of Spades
And talk with my chambermaid
She knows that
I'm not afraid
To look at her
She is good to me And there's
nothing she doesn't see
She knows where I'd like to be
But it doesn't matter
I want you
I want you
yes I want you so bad
Honey I want you
Now your dancing child
with his Chinese suit
He spoke to me
I took his flute
No I wasn't very cute to him
Was I
But I did it
though because he lied
Because he took you for a ride
And because time was on
his side
And because I
I want you
I want you
I want you so bad
Honey I want you
