I Want You Lyrics - Silhouette: The Legendary Voice Of Ub40 - Ali Campbell

The guilty undertaker sighs 

The lonesome organ grinder cries 

The silver saxophones say I should refuse you 

The cracked bells and the washed-out horns 

Blow into my face with scorn 

But it's not that way 

I wasn't born to lose you 

I want you, I want you 

I want you so bad 

Honey, I want you 

The drunken politician leaps 

Upon the street where mothers weep 

And the saviors who are fast asleep 

They wait for you 

And I wait for them to interrupt 

Me drinkin' from my broken cup 

And ask for me to 

Open up the gates for you 

I want you, I want you 

I want you so bad 

Honey, I want you 

Now all my fathers, they've gone down 

True love they've been without it 

But all their daughters put me down 

'Cause I don't think about it 

Well, I return to the queen of spades 

And talk there with my chambermaid 

She knows that I'm not afraid 

To look at her 

She is good to me 

And there's nothing that she doesn't see 

She knows where I'd like to be 

it doesn't matter 

I want you, I want you 

I want you so bad 

Honey, I want you
