I want you
Dm
I want you
Bb
Darling, I want you

F
Drunken politicians leap

Dm
And saviors who are fast asleep

Dm
And ask me
Bb C
To open up the gate for you, Ah Ah Ah

F C
Your dancing child with his Chinese suit, he spoke to me, i stole his flute. No!
Dm
I wasn't that cute to him, was I?
C Bb
I did it though because he lied, because he took you for a ride
C
Because time was on his side
C
Because....
