I Didnt Need to Leave My Sweater to Want to See You Again

All I Want

Printer-friendly version of this lyric

I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Traveling, traveling, traveling
Looking for something, what can it exist
Oh I hate you some, I hate y'all some, I love y'all some
Oh I love you when I forget about me

I want to be strong I want to laugh along
I want to belong to the living
Alive, alive, I desire to get up and jive
I desire to wreck my stockings in some juke box swoop
Do yous want - exercise you desire - practise you want to dance with me baby
Do you want to gamble
On maybe finding some sweet romance with me baby
Well, come on

All I really really want our love to practice
Is to bring out the best in me and in you besides
All I really really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you
I desire to talk to yous, I want to shampoo you lot
I desire to renew you once more and again
Applause, applause - Life is our cause
When I think of your kisses my mind meet-saws
Practice you lot run across - do you run across - do you see how you hurt me baby
So I injure y'all too
Then we both get and then blue

I am on a lonely route and I am traveling
Looking for the key to set up me free
Oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling
Information technology's the unraveling
And it undoes all the joy that could be
I want to have fun, I want to smoothen similar the sun
I want to exist the one that you desire to see
I desire to knit you a sweater
Want to write you a dearest letter
I want to make you lot feel better
I desire to brand you lot feel free
I want to make you feel free
