Amanda Palmer - Want It Back lyrics
[Amanda Palmer - Want It Back lyrics]
Hearts on a string
Like an older fashioned phone-can
Bang ringy-ring and you think
You're gonna get some
Thing you can bring to a
Party at your wake not
Thinking of the thing that you pay
Back when you take it
Take it, like rats in a cage
Pushed the button got the shock trick
Snickers in your bag
Had your number but I lost it
Bets are all off, you’re a lily-livered giver
Indie in the hidden costs
You're a sucker and you win
It doesn't matter if you want it back
You’ve given it away, you've given it away
It doesn't matter if you want it back
You've given it away away away away away away
He's already on the outskirts
I'm still pulling at his sweatshirt
He says "Fate is not a factor"
I'm in love with every actor
So, once when you're gone and
I wanna do it backwards just like the song
We’re addicted to the L word
Up past your head, down your back
Around your ankles ready for attack
You’re upstaged and then you're strangled
Cringe like you’re cursed
With your wrecking bally necklace
I saw it first and I
Crushed it with my hamfist
High for the contest
Who's the better not see
Eye to eye to eye and now you're
Blind and you can't catch me
Catch me if you can
(he’s already on the outskirts) if you can
(I'm still pulling on his sweatshirt)
If you can (he says fate is not a factor)
If you can (I'm in love with every actor)
It doesn't matter if you want it back
You've given it away, you've given it away
It doesn't matter if you want it back
You've given it away, you've given it away
It doesn't matter if you want it back
You've given it away, you've given it away
It doesn't matter if you want it back
You've given it away, away, away, away, away
He's already on the outskirts
I'm still pulling at his sweatshirt
He says "Fate is not a factor"
I'm in love with every actor
He's already on the outskirts
I'm still pulling at his sweatshirt
He says "Fate is not a factor"
I will let you go if you would let some
I will let you go if you would let somebody
I will let you go if you
Would let somebody love you
I will let you go if you
Would let somebody love you like
I will let you go if you would
Let somebody love you like I do
Like I do, like I do
Like an older fashioned phone-can
Bang ringy-ring and you think
You're gonna get some
Thing you can bring to a
Party at your wake not
Thinking of the thing that you pay
Back when you take it
Take it, like rats in a cage
Pushed the button got the shock trick
Snickers in your bag
Had your number but I lost it
Bets are all off, you’re a lily-livered giver
Indie in the hidden costs
You're a sucker and you win
It doesn't matter if you want it back
You’ve given it away, you've given it away
It doesn't matter if you want it back
You've given it away away away away away away
He's already on the outskirts
I'm still pulling at his sweatshirt
He says "Fate is not a factor"
I'm in love with every actor
So, once when you're gone and
I wanna do it backwards just like the song
We’re addicted to the L word

It doesn't matter if you want it back
You've given it away, you've given it away
It doesn't matter if you want it back
You've given it away, you've given it away
It doesn't matter if you want it back
You've given it away, away, away, away, away

I will let you go if you would let some
I will let you go if you would let somebody
I will let you go if you
Would let somebody love you
I will let you go if you
Would let somebody love you like
I will let you go if you would
Let somebody love you like I do
Like I do, like I do
