lyrics

Fall to my death in this conversation
I’m never coming round again
Because I know what you want from me
I know what you want from me

Get a real job
Get a god
Get a nice boy to marry you
Oh yeah, I know what you want from me

Watch my friends getting married don’t worry I’ll MC your wedding
And then I’ll sit down again
We can all pretend that these men aren’t trying to kill us
They’re trying to kill us
Pretend that my love looks just like the other ones
Just like the boys and the girls on the TV
That I’m free to kiss in the street
In the rain
In the dark
While the taxi waits for me

My friends they talk to one another
‘Bout how I go from lover to lover
Because we all saw the look of our mothers’
When we told them we’d never be marrying boys
Now we’re waiting for the same look to cross the face of the girls that we hold in the nighttime
And we try but we never connect
We never connect
We never connect
We never connect
We

I know what you want from me
I know what you want from me
I know what you want from me

I know what you want from me
I know what you want from me
I know what you want from me

(I know what you want from me)
Watch my friends getting married don’t worry I’ll MC your wedding
And then I’ll sit down again
We can all pretend that these men aren’t trying to kill us
They’re trying to kill us
Pretend that my love looks just like the other one
Just like the other one
Just like the other one
What’s it like to kiss in the street
In the rain
In the dark
While the taxi waits

My friends they talk to one another
‘Bout how I go from lover to lover
Because we all saw the look of our mothers’
When we told them we’d never be marrying boys
We’ll never be marrying boys
We’ll never be marrying boys
We’ll never be marrying boys

But I don’t behave myself
I won’t behave myself
I won’t behave myself
I won’t behave myself
And I won’t hate myself
I won’t hate myself
I won’t hate myself
I won’t hate myself
