Want It Back Lyrics - Amanda Palmer

Hearts on a string 

Like an older-fashioned phone-can 

Bang, ringy-ring 

And you think 

You're gonna get some thing you can bring to a party at your wake 

Not thinking of the thing that you pay back when you take it 

Take it 

Like rats in a cage pushed the button 

Got the shock trick snickers in your bag 

Had your number, but I lost it 

Bets are all off, you're a lily-livered giver 

Indie in the hidden costs, you're a sucker and you win 

It doesn't matter if you want it back 

You've given it away 

You've given it away 

It doesn't matter if you want it back 

You've given it away, away, away, away, away, away, oh

He's already on the outskirts 

I'm still pulling at his sweatshirt 

He says fate is not a factor 

I'm in love with every actor 

So 

Once when you're gone, and I wanna do it backwards 

Just like the song, we're addicted to the L word 

Up past your head, down your back 

Around your ankles, ready for attack 

You're upstaged 

And then you're strangled 

Cringe like you're cursed with your wrecking ball-y necklace 

I saw it first, and I crushed it with my ham fist 

High for the contest, who's the better 

Not see eye to eye to eye 

And now you're blind, and you can't catch me 

Catch me if you can

(He's already on the outskirts) 

If you can 

(I'm still pulling on his sweatshirt) 

If you can 

(He says fate is not a factor) 

If you can 

(I'm in love with every actor) 

It doesn't matter if you want it back 

You've given it away 

You've given it away 

It doesn't matter if you want it back 

You've given it away 

You've given it away 

He's already on the outskirts 

I'm still pulling at his sweatshirt 

He says fate is not a factor 

I'm in love with every actor 

I will let you go if you will let some 

I will let you go if you will let somebody 

I will let you go if you will let somebody love you 

I will let you go if you will let somebody love you like 

I will let you go if you will let somebody love you like I do
