lyrics

WHAT YOU WANTED
Tony Kavanagh/Tony Cantwell/Brian Lynch/Paul O’Dea

Should’ve known
You’d be here tonight
All that flirty bonhomie
You know my appetite
You’re dressed to kill
You got me on the slab
Dancing and drinking with you
When I should be in a cab

Drunk on you
You’re 80 proof
Make me forget my name
Rip it up
Raise the roof
You played me, though I’m game

And maybe tonight
Baby you got what you wanted
And I'm wrapped up tight like
A gift to you
Yeah tonight
Baby you got what you wanted
And I
Will always be just a fool for you

Oh you’re shameless – wow!
I gotta credit you
Like a pro with the small talk
Made it feel kinda new
Aim and shoot
Your charm offensive wins
I fold like a cheap suit
An occasion of sin

No pretence
About how it ends
Every dog on the street knows
Say my name
End the waiting game
I’d run barefoot through hot coal

And maybe tonight
Baby you got what you wanted
And I'm wrapped up tight like
A gift to you

And maybe tonight (yeah maybe tonight)
Baby you got what you wanted (what you wanted)
And I'm wrapped up tight like
A gift to you
Yeah tonight (oh maybe tonight)
Baby you got what you wanted (you got what you wanted)
And I
Will always be just a fool for you

You got what you wanted (baby, baby)
What you wanted
You got what you wanted (baby, baby)
What you wanted
