I WANT YOU

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Children love to sing but then their voices slowly fade away.
People always take a step away from what is true,
That's why I like you around,
I want you.
Oh you do
You do
You do
You do
You do
You do
You do
You make me want you.
An open invitation to the dance,
Happenstance set the vibe that we are in,
No apology because my urge is genuine,
And the mystery of your rhythm is so feminine.
Here I am and I want to take a hit
Of your scent 'cause it gets so deep into my soul
Ooh I want you
Yeah you do
You do
You do
You do
You do
You do
You do
You do
You make me want you.
Oh you do
You do
You do
You do
You do
You do
You do
You do
I want you.
(Send me all your vampires)
And I can't get enough, you you you you
Oh I can't get enough
Oh I can't get enough Oh oh, I (you) I (you) I (you)
The village churchyard is filled with bones weeping in the grave,
The silver lining of clouds shines on people Jesus couldn't save
You want to know how deeply my soul goes
Deeper than bones
Deeper than bones
And I can't get enough. I I I I
Oh I can't get enough, you you you you
Oh I can't get enough
After we did it by the windowsill,
Smoke rings drifted through the midnight sky,
Presently in the quilt that your mother made,
A bare candle burns to fight off the gloom,
You said to live this way is not for the meek, (Send me all your vampires)
And like a jazz dj you talk me into sleep,
I said there will be no regrets when the worms come, (Send me all your vampires)
And they shall surely come.
Oh You do
You do
You do
You do
You do
You do
You do
You do
Make me want you
(Send me all your vampires) (That's right)
Yeah I do
I do
I do
You do
You do
You do
You do
You do
A make a me want you
(Send me all your vampires)
I want you
(Send me all your vampires)
I want you
(Send me all your vampires)
There will be no regrets when the worms come
(Go ahead)
(Send me all your vampires)
