Everything You Want



I wonder what is
that keeps you coming back
Everytime I say it's for-you
and you think it's fair to act

And you see it's just a con
and there's nothing more to me
And you know you don't want everything
and calm yourself; you see.

So remember to meet all your needs
and try to stay away
And tell yourself that some are bad
and come to take away

From whatever is to come of you
when you would simply click
On whatever someone offers you
when you are just a twit
