lyrics

You want it
You want it
Everybody wants it
‘till you’ve got it
You got it
Got it then it’s gone

And we’re all searching
We’re searching
Everybody’s searching
For our place
A place
A place beneath the sun

You want a piece
A piece
You want a piece of me
So I’ll keep giving
And giving
And giving ‘till I’m spent

And still you want it
You want it
You want it all for free
But that don’t pay the rent, boy
No that don’t pay my rent

I’m tired of trying to sell myself
But what else can I be
When everybody wants it
But they want it all for free

So you can take it
Oh take it
Everybody take it
You can have it
Have it
Take it ‘till there’s none

And I’ll keep giving
And giving
I’m learning how to fake it
So I’ll fake it
And fake it
Pretend I’m having fun

You want a piece
A piece
You want a piece of me
And so I’ll keep giving
And giving
Pretending that I’m fine

And still you want it
You want it
You want it all for free
So I’ll keep giving
And giving
My pearls to all you swine

An oddball gem I stumbled on by accident. While I might have been tempted away, the music hooked me in so aggressively as to count as kidnapping. It's musically rather pretty with a bit of a broadway touch, but the emotions expressed are intensely dark. jnthnreaganmorgan
