Lyrics

You were working as a   in a cocktail bar
When I   you
I   you out, I   you up
And   you around
Turned you into someone  

Now five   later on
you've got the world at your  
Success has been so   for you
But don't  
it's me who put you where you are  
And I can put you   down too.

Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it
When I hear that you won't   me
Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I don't   you
When you say that you don't   me

It's much too   to find
When you think you've changed your  
You'd better change it back or
We will both be  

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   is true
But    
I knew I'd find a much better  
Either with or   you
The five years we had
Have been such good at times
I still love you
But now
I think it's time I live my life on my own
I   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
When 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?
