Whataya Want from Me
Delilah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whataya want from me
Yeah I'm afraid
Whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
There might've been a time when I would let you slip away
I wouldn't even try
I think you could save my life.
I'm working it out,
Please don't give in,
I won't let you down,
It messed me up,
Need a second to breathe,
Just keep coming around,
Hey whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
Yeah it's plain to see
Baby you're beautiful
And there's nothing wrong with you
Me, I'm a freak,
Thanks for loving me,
You're doing it perfectly.
Just don't give up,
I'm working it out,
Please don't give in,
I won't let you down,
It messed me up,
Need a second to breathe,
Just keep coming around,
Hey, whataya want from me,
Whataya want from me,
Whataya want from me.

Amazing performance and I do love them... but honestly.. there is a clear lead singer and they don't use her nearly enough in my opinion.

About every other performance was really good - but they fell on their faces a couple of times, too. ^^;; When it was them or North Shore - I was voting for the other side. >.< PS: This was one of the really awesome pieces.
