Many prophets preach on bended knee many clerics wasted wine Do the bloody sheets On those cardboard streets mean I have wasted time Other silver shores on paradise Can I come in from the cold? I killed a man in a far away land My enemy untold I really want you to really want me But I really don't know if you can do that (I really want you) I know you want to know what's right But I know it's so hard for you to do that (I really want you) And time's running out as often it does And often dictates that you can't do that (I really want you) If they can't break this feeling inside (now) That's burning up through my veins I really want you I really want you I really want you now No matter what I say or do The message isn't getting through And you're listening to the sound Of my breaking heart I really want you I really want you Is a poor man rich in solitude? Or will mother earth complained Did the beggar pray for a sunny day but Lady luck for rain They say a million people bow and scream To an effigy of gold As so life begin And the ship we're in And history unfold I really want you to really want me But I really don't know if you can do that (I really want you) I know you want to know what's right But I know it's so hard for you to do that (I really want you) And time's running out as often it does And often dictates that you can't do that (I really want you) If they can't break this feeling inside (now) That's burning up through my veins I really want you I really want you I really want you now No matter what I said or do The message isn't getting through And you're listening to the sound Of my breaking heart No matter what I said or do The message isn't getting through And you're listneing to the sound Of my breaking heart
