Will Butler - What I Want lyrics

[Will Butler - What I Want lyrics]

Tell me what you want, babe
And I will get it though it might take three
To five business days, maybe longer
I forget cause my head's in a bit of a haze
Since I let you down
I don't know where I am going
I don't know where I lost my shoes
I'm distracted by this one
Particular shade of blue
I bet you're wondering if I remember
Oh well I remember just about everything
Except what time it was, and
Where we were, oh and one more thing

I will tell you what I want
What I wanted to say
I will tell you if it's okay, if it's okay
If it's okay

If you come and take my hand
I will buy you a pony
We can cook it for supper
I know a great recipe for pony macaroni
Later on we can walk the beach
Oh you know that we can walk
Along the waves out to Greenland
You can bury me there in an icy grave
I'm so hot these days, but sometimes, oh
I get so cold I've been told
It's a side effect from staring
Into the sun too long
If you told me that there was a war
I would fight for you
If you told me that there was a war
I would fight until we were all free
Until we were all free
I said what about Tuesday night
Are you free?

My body's not prepared for this
I can feel my heart beat out of my chest
I apologize if I get heart blood
All over your nice floral dress
But, it's not my fault so don't blame me
Don't blame me
Don't blame me cause it's not my fault
It's your fault

Now I'm not saying that we should rush this
I'm not suggesting that we
Should start having kids, but maybe
We could think about getting a dog
Or a fish tank or a jar of squids
Or maybe just a chicken
Coop full of alligators
I will go along with whatever you say
I'm not a details man I
Just wanna hang around
And maybe get a chance to hold your hand
Don't tell me I've made a mistake

I will tell you if it's not
Too late if it's not too, not too late
I will tell you if it's okay
If it's okay, if it's okay, if it's okay
