Lyrics for What Was It You Wanted

What was it you wanted, tell me again so I'll know What's happening in there, what's going on in your show? What was it you wanted, could you say it again? I'll be back in a minute, you could tell me then What was it you wantedm you can tell me I'm back We can start it all over, get it back on the track You got why attention, go ahead, speak What was it you wanted when you were kissing my cheek? Was there somebody looking when you gave me that kiss? Someone there in the shadows, someone I might have missed Is there something you needed, something I don't understand? What was it you wanted when you were holding my hand? Whatever you wanted slipped out of my mind Would you remind me again, if you'd be so kind? Has the record been breaking, did the needle just skip? Is there somebody waitin', was there a slip of the lip? What was it you wanted? I ain't keepin' score Are you the same person that was here before? Is it something important, or is it not What was it you wanted, tell me again, I forgot Whatever you wanted, what can it be? Did somebody tell you that you could get it from me? Is it something that comes natural, is it easy to say? Why do you want it, and who are you anyway Is the scenery changing, am I getting it wrong? Is the whole thing going backwards, are they playing our song? Where were you when it started, do you want it for free? What was it you wanted, are you talking to me?
