Lyrics:

What I want, what I need
I can have anything that I want

What I need, what I need, what I want, what I want, what I need, what I need

I can have anyting that I want
But what you want from me I don't what none!
And I don't want to watch the TV
Because that stuff don't appeal to me!

*But what I want's got simplicity
What I want it wants only me
What I want don't say no at all
Listen blue eyes, shut up!
You've got what I want, what I want
What I need, what I need
What I want what I want
What I need, what I need
You have got it all!

Well I know how to have a good time
And I know how to wipe up the thin white line
And I know how to let my backbone slip (uh!)
I can do what I want but I don't do nothing

(*repeat)


But what I want's got simplicity
What I want it wan't me, me, me
What I want well it ain't plucked chicken
Listen blue eyes, shut up!
You've got what I want...

(repeat chorus with ad libs and fade)
