I Want It
Sophie and The Bom Boms Lyrics

The guilty undertaker sighs,
The person who is responsible for burying the dead feels regret about something.

The lonely organ grinder cries,
The street performer who plays music on an organ by turning a crank is sad and alone.

The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.
The saxophones are warning the singer to not pursue a certain person they desire.

The cracked bells and washed-out horns Blow into my face with scorn,
The old and worn-out instruments seem to mock the singer as they play, conveying a sense of disapproval.

But it's not that way, I wasn't born to lose you.
Despite the discouragement, the singer knows they are meant to be with the person they want.

I want you, I want you, I want you so bad, Honey, I want you.
The singer repeats their strong desire for the person they want.

The drunken politician leaps Upon the street where mothers weep And the saviors who are fast asleep, They wait for you.
The politician, who is not in control of their actions, enters a sad and somber scene where people are in need of help, while the ones who could help are not doing anything.

And I wait for them to interrupt Me drinkin' from my broken cup And ask me to Open up the gate for you.
The singer is also waiting for someone to step in and help them connect with the person they want.

Now all my fathers, they've gone down, True love they've been without it. But all their daughters put me down 'Cause I don't think about it.
The singer is trying to break a cycle of failed relationships and is being judged for not following the same path as those who came before them.

Well, I return to the Queen of Spades And talk with my chambermaid. She knows that I'm not afraid To look at her.
The singer finds solace in returning to familiar places and seeks comfort from a trusted confidant.

She is good to me And there's nothing she doesn't see. She knows where I'd like to be But it doesn't matter.
The chambermaid provides emotional support and understands the singer's desires, but ultimately it doesn't change their situation.

Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit, He spoke to me, I took his flute. No, I wasn't very cute to him, Was I?
The singer interacts with someone who seems to have taken advantage of the person they want, and though they acted unkindly towards him, they still took something from him.

But I did it, though, because he lied Because he took you for a ride And because time was on his side And because I I want you, I want you, I want you so bad, Honey, I want you.
The singer justifies their actions based on the person they want being deceived and taken advantage of, and their own intense desire for that person.
