What More Do You Want from Me?

Sarah Rayan 1982 (Kuwait City)



They say it might end, what more do you want from me
we'll never know when, what more do you want from me, I've been fooled before, but now I see the shore, what more do you want from me

The party goes on, what more do you want from me
but the past is gone, what more do you want from me someone else takes the fall, as I break down my wall
what more do you want from me

I built it so high, what more do you want from me, so you don't see me cry, what more do you want from me
but don't be surprised, when sea levels rise, what more do you want from me

So here I stand, what more do you want from me, I only demand, what more do you want from me, to be your only girl, your equal, your world, what more do you want from me
