Don’t You Want Me Lyrics By The Human League

    philip oakey
    you were workin’ as a waitress in a cocktail bar
    when i met you
    i picked you out i shook you up and turned you around
    turned you into someone new
    now five years later on you’ve got the world at your feet
    success has been so easy for you
    but don’t forget it’s me who put you where you are now
    and i can put you back down too

    pre philip
    don’t don’t you want me
    you know i can’t believe it when i hear that you won’t see me
    don’t don’t you want me
    you know i don’t believe you when you say that you don’t need me
    it’s much too late to find
    you think you’ve changed your mind
    you’d better change it back or we will both be sorry

    philip
    don’t you want me baby
    don’t you want me ohh
    don’t you want me baby
    don’t you want me ohh

    susan ann sulley
    i was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
    that much is true
    but even then i knew i’d find a much better place
    either with or without you
    the five years we have had have been such good times
    i still love you
    but now i think it’s time i live my life on my own
    i guess it’s just what i must do

    pre philip
    don’t don’t you want me
    you know i can’t believe it when i hear that you won’t see me
    don’t don’t you want me
    you know i don’t believe you when you say that you don’t need me
    it’s much too late to find
    you think you’ve changed your mind
    you’d better change it back or we will both be sorry

    philip
    don’t you want me baby
    don’t you want me ohh
    don’t you want me baby
    don’t you want me ohh

    break

    repeated until fade philip
    don’t you want me baby
    don’t you want me ohh
    don’t you want me baby
    don’t you want me ohh
