What You Want

from Might Get It Right by New People

lyrics

What you want from me is exactly what I want to be
I’ll sing the words on key, though the actions be beyond me
I’ve got the moon to sell you, and I’ve got to tell you
That I want us to be happy

What you want from me is exactly what I want to be
I’ll say the words, all three: I will try, I love you, I’m sorry
I’ve got the moon to sell you; if that don’t propel you
Then my words might seem empty

What you want from me is precisely what I want to be
To be engaged actually in all that we want to be
I’ve got some time to time to spend, and this is not the end
The pit in my stomach will eventually mend
I owe my life to you, and if you want me to I can change

Change what you want from me into something that I might achieve
Please try to believe there’s nothing fundamentally diseased
And if I try to hold you, could you try to feel through
What’s dividing you and me?

What you want
