Don T You Want Me lyrics

DON`T YOU WANT ME
Human League
- words by Philip Oakey
- music by Jo Callis, Philip Oakey and Philip Adrian Wright
- from the 1981 album `Dare!`

You were workin` 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

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

Don`t you want me baby
Don`t you want me - Oh-oh-oh-oh
Don`t you want me baby
Don`t you want me - Oh-oh-oh-oh

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 live my life on my own
I guess 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, 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-oh-oh-oh
Don`t you want me baby
Don`t you want me - Oh-oh-oh-oh
