LYRICS
VERSE 1:
You were working 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
PRE CHORUS:
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
CHORUS:
Don't you want me, baby
Don't you want me, oh
Don't you want me, baby
Don't you want me, oh
VERSE 2:
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 lived my life on my own
I guess it's just what I must do
PRE CHORUS:
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
CHORUS:
Don't you want me, baby
Don't you want me, oh
Don't you want me, baby
Don't you want me, oh
INTRO
CHORUS:
Don't you want me, baby
Don't you want me, oh
Don't you want me, baby
Don't you want me, oh...
