You Don't Know What You Want Lyrics

You don't know what you want

No, you've got no idea what would turn you on

If you had all the time

In the world to decide

Even then you won't find

What you want

If you tried you could have so many things

Drink the nectar out of all that life brings

But I realize it probably stings

To wake up each day

And have nothing to say

If you tried you could have such a good life

Lots of pretty friends and maybe a wife

But I know it probably cuts like a knife

To know that you don't

Cuz you won't even try

Cuz you don't know what you want

No, you've got no idea what would turn you on

If you had half a clue

'Bout the things you could do

I don't think even you

Would know what you want

If you wanted you'd have all of the world

Streets of platinum and houses of pearl

And the confidence of every sweet girl

Would fall unto you

If you wanted it to

But instead you sit and cover your ears

And take a lesson from a few of your fears

Write a song or two that nobody hears

And think its enough

To be shit out of luck

But you know you're screwed

You're nowhere near where you thought you'd be by

Twenty two

What can you do

If you don't know what you want

If you've got no idea what would turn you on

If you had just a speck

Of that sweet self-respect

You'd know what to expect

And what you'd want

But you don't know what you want

No, you've got no idea what would turn you on

If you had half a clue

'Bout the things you could do

If you had all the time

In the world to decide

Even then you won't find

Find out what you want
