What Do You Want From Me Now Songtext
von Hootie & the Blowfish

Take a little bit of everything baby
I′ll be all right
An' don′t just settle for livin' the lie
That I thought you might

Put on your disguise
Let me see that you're bigger than me
Tell me that tomorrow
I′ll wake and yearn for you

And when I call your name out
You leave and take a bow
And you say
"What do you want from me?"

Call off the service now baby
No one really knew
That I would have to leave
But now, I′m a better man


I thought you realized
I wanted you but
You left so suddenly
I know I promised but now I lied

And when I kiss you someday
If you feel that you're aloud
You say
"What do you want from me now?"

Burn all your candles
Turn out the light
(What do you want from me now?)
Forget the feelin′ that you've been feelin′
Deep inside of me
We'll be alright

Now it′s the mornin' after
And I'm doin′ what you said
Ho, but no one answers
And I cope ′cause you were gone

Oh, I just wanted you baby
Ho, but I have to deal 'cause
My heart isn′t big enough
To love you even if I please


And when I call you someday
You will not make a sound
You say
"What do you want from me now?"

Burn all your candles
Turn out the light
(What do you want from me now?)
Forget the feelin' that you′ve been feelin'
Deep inside of me
We′ll be alright

(Forget the feelin' that you've been feelin′)
Now, now, right now, the feelin′s gone
Deep inside of me
We'll be alright

(Forget the feelin′ that you've been feelin′)
I forgot it'll be alright, I forgot, I forgot how I′m feelin'
Deep inside of me
We'll be alright
