Lyrics

Only the lines marked with an asterisk (*) are present on the short version of Don't You Want Me.

* You were workin' as a waitress in a cocktail bar
  When I met you
  I picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around
  Turned you into someone new
  Now five years later on, you've got the world at your feet
  Success has been so easy for you
  But don't forget, it's me who put you where you are now
  And I can put you back down too

  Don't, don't you want me?
  You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
  Don't, don't you want me?
  You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
  It's much too late to find
  You think you've changed your mind
  You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry

  Don't you want me, baby?
  Don't you want me? Oh
  Don't you want me, baby?
  Don't you want me? Oh

  I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
  That much is true
But even then, I knew I'd find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you
But now, I think it's time I live my life on my own
I guess it's just what I must do

Don't, don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't, don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
It's much too late to find
You think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry

Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh

Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh
Don't you want me, baby?
