Whatever You Want
The Preatures Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I walk the same old streets
And they wonder what you're doin' to me
They have never seen me so complete
It's like a shock to the system to see
I wanna sh–, I wanna shout it every day, yeah

Whatever you want, whatever you want
Whatever you need, I'll give it to you
Whatever you want, whatever you want
Whatever you need, I'll give it to you

And the eve of the destruction seems
Just a little too real tonight, tonight
Heaven knows I find my way back home
When I got you in my loving sight
I wanna sh–, I wanna shout it every day, yeah

Whatever you want, whatever you want
Whatever you need, I'll give it to you
Whatever you want, whatever you want
Whatever you need, I'll give it to you

Ooh, uh, uh, uh i'll give it to you
Ooh, uh, uh, uh yeah, I'll give it to you

Every time, every time, every time
Every time, every time, every time, oh
Every time, every time, every time
Every time, I wanna re–, I wanna re–
I wanna rechange

Whatever you want, whatever you want
Whatever you need, I'll give it to you
Whatever you want, whatever you want
Whatever you need, I'll give it to you

Hey, darling, if you fake it now, yeah
Just turn it out
If you want it, don't pretend, yeah
Just churn it out
If you want it, I'll be there, no matter how
If you want it, I'll teach you now, yeah
I wanna sh–, I wanna shout it every day, yeah




I wanna, I wanna sh–, I
Wanna shout it every day, Yeah
