What Do You Want
The Katy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't wanna be my friend
Of all the flowers in the field
Have you come to trample on one?
If you've come here to steal, just know
I have nothing left to give
If you've come here to lie, Just know
What do you want from me
That you can't get from somebody else?
I've been here a while babe
You won't make no fool of me
You wear that lying grin so wide babe
I can see it round the bend
Now, If you've come here to steal, just know
I have nothing left to give
If you've come here to lie, Just know
I will find you out
What do you want from me
That you can't get from somebody else?
In the song "What Do You Want" by The Katy's, the lyrics speak to someone who is being observed from a distance by someone who does not want to be their friend. The singer questions why this person would choose to trample on them when there are so many other options available. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and suspicion towards the individual's intentions.
The lyrics also suggest that the singer has been in similar situations before and is not easily fooled. They are able to see through the deceptive smile and recognize the ulterior motives of this person. The repeated lines questioning what the person wants from them, that they cannot find from someone else, further emphasize the singer's confusion and frustration.
