Hawkins Sophie B I Want You Lyrics

I Want You Lyrics

The guilty undertaker sighs,
The lonely organ grinder cries,
The silver
saxophones say I should refuse you.
The cracked bells and washed-out
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,
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.
