Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You were working 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

[PreChorus]

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

[Chorus]

Don't you want me, baby?

Don't you want me, oh?

Don't you want me, baby?

Don't you want me, oh?

[Verse 2]

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

[PreChorus]

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

[Chorus]

Don't you want me, baby?

Don't you want me, oh?

Don't you want me, baby?

Don't you want me, oh?

[Chorus]

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?

Don't you want me, oh?

Don't you want me, baby?

Don't you want me, oh?

Don't you want me, baby?
