Vienna Teng - Whatever You Want lyrics

He's a company man, your right hand
Thirteen years and counting
No detectable ambition, a model of efficiency
Far as you can see he knows every loophole
The hard-to-find print
Massages the numbers 'til they fit
And every time you ask him
For another vanishing act
He half-smiles, as if to say:

"Whatever you want, whatever you want
Whatever you want is fine by me
Whatever you want, whatever you want
Whatever you want is fine by me"

Never a real moment together
But she understands you're an important man
Another day and I don't know
If you're coming home, or when
She's alone again
But she goes on curating her domestic museum
She disappears in her loyalty
She is a dress wearing a face in the doorway
Opening her arms out to you

"Whatever you want, whatever you want
Whatever you want is fine by me
Whatever you want, whatever you want
Whatever you want is fine by me"

No one would dare to question you, oh no
No one would dare to stand up
But in the night she leaves the
Papers in a tidy pile
Evidence for her reasons
And in the night he takes the
Main accounts and pulls the files
Detailing every treason
I am the last one you'd ever suspect
Of setting the fire, of setting -a- fire
But as you switch on your TV tomorrow morning
You'll hear me saying, quietly:

"Whatever you want, whatever you want
Whatever you want is fine by me
Whatever you want, whatever you want
Whatever you want is fine by me"

Whatever you say, whatever you say
I'll do what you ask me
I'll do what you ask me

Whatever you say, whatever you say, but
Do you know who's listening?

Whatever you say, whatever you say
You know it's over
