Don't You Want Me
Bahamas & The Weather Station Lyrics

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When we first met, you were working as a waitress at a cocktail bar.

When I met you, I picked you out
When I first saw you at the bar, I chose you and decided to pursue you.

I shook you up
I disrupted your life and routine by entering it and changing things.

And turned you around, turned you into someone new
By being with me, you became a different person than who you were before we met.

Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet
After five years together, you've become very successful and accomplished.

Success has been so easy for you
Your success has come naturally, without much effort.

But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now
Remember that I played a key role in helping you achieve your current success and status.

And I can put you back down too
I still have the power and influence to bring you down from your success if I choose to do so.

Don't you want me?
Do you still have feelings for me and want to be with me?

You know I don't believe it when I see that you don't need me
When you say that you don't need me anymore, I don't really believe it because of our history together.

You know can't believe you when you say that you won't see me
When you say that you won't see me anymore, I have trouble believing it because I still have strong feelings for you.

Now I wait to find when you think you've changed your mind
I'm patiently waiting to see if you change your mind about our relationship and want to be with me again.

You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry
If you don't change your mind and come back to me, we will both regret it.

I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, that much is true
I acknowledge that I was indeed working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when we first met.

But even then I knew I'd find a much better place either with or without you
I always had the feeling that I could achieve greater things, with or without your help.

The five years we have had have been such good times, I still love you
Despite everything, I still cherish the five years we were together and have love for you.

But now I think it's time I live my life on my own, I guess it's just what I must do
However, I now feel that I need to live my life on my own, even if it means leaving you behind.

Don't you want me?
Do you still want to be with me and try to make things work?

You know I can't believe it when you say that you won't see me
It's hard for me to accept that you don't want to see me anymore.

You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
I don't really trust that you don't need me anymore and still feel there may be hope for us.

Now I wait to find you've changed your mind
I'm still waiting for you to change your mind and come back to me.

Don't you want me baby?
Do you still have love and feelings for me, my dear?

Don't you want me, oh?
Can't you see that we were meant to be together forever?

Don't you want me baby?
Don't you want to be with me and live a happy life together, my love?

Don't you want me, oh?
Don't you see that without each other, we'll both be miserable and lost?

Don't you want me baby?
Can't you see that we were meant to be together, forever and always?

Don't you want me, oh?
Can't you just admit that you still love me and can't live without me, my beloved?
