[Verse]

You're so tired Sunday Morning

Life has got you on your knees

Next door is playing gospel music

Get high on second hand release

You lean your head against the window

And you finally start to cry, you hear the empty metre

It's not upstairs, it's not outside

Later on, they're playing that same music

And they'll be playing it all night

Oh! Come on! Stretch you're arms out

Pretend that everything's alright!

[Chorus]

Can I get what I want? Can I do it?

I'm trying oh!

Can you get what you want? And can you do it without lying?

NO!

Can I get what I want? Can I do it?

I'm trying oh!

Can you get what you want? And can you do it without lying?

NO!

No, oh no!

[Verse]

You can still hear your father singing

Every nigga is a star!

But now it's something you're not sure of

So you go and sеll your new guitar

And now! You know, you know he loved you

Hе just could not stay sane

You watched him lose his mind in public

While your cheeks burned up in shame

So tell me would you do it different?

Ha! It doesn't matter because you can't!

Don't bother changing up the music, just to do the same old dance!

They're still playing that same music

You like it more than you thought you would

Oh! Come on! Push your back out

Stop pretending you're only good!

[Chorus]

Can I get what I want? Can I do it?

I'm trying oh!

Can you get what you want? And can you do it without lying?

NO!

Can I get what I want? Can I do it?

I'm trying oh!

Can you get what you want? And can you do it without lying?

NO!

No, oh no!

[Post Chorus]

Don't let them break you in half (don't you let them break you baby)

Divide you up and hand you out for fun

You're like a comet a gutter dwelling star

(Don't you let them make you cry)

We want to know what you would do down here

[Verse]

You've spent your whole life turning

Like a lost penny in a wheel

And no-one knows which way to point you

No-one can tell you how to feel

And I don't want to fight this feeling

I'd much rather fight with you

Because I am out of things to run from and I am out of things to prove

And I can do it, I can leave it I can give it up all night

I just want someone to believe it

Someone to believe in someone who'll keep me in their sights

They say Maria's got a problem

Well I've probably got 10

Be nice I'm lose lose lose losing but I might win again!

[Chorus]

Can I get what I want? Can I do it?

I'm trying oh!

Can you get what you want? And can you do it without lying?

NO!

Can I get what I want? Can I do it?

I'm trying oh!

Can you get what you want? And can you do it without lying?

NO!

[Post Chorus]

Don't let them break you in half (don't you let them break you baby)

Divide you up and hand you out for fun

You're like a comet a gutter dwelling star

(Don't you let them make you cry)

We want to know what you would do down here

[Bridge]

Ooo and I'd like to try it, I'd really like to try it WINNING!

I'd like to lose it my mind, my eyes, I just don't want to see

Don't want to see it, that's a lie

And now I'm trying to hold on, on to it trying not to give it up!

I'd like to try it, I'd really like to try it WINNING!

I'd like to lose it my mind, my eyes, I just don't want to see

I've been crying, 7 weeks of crying and holding on to it

Hoping I might finally get home!

[Verse]

You're like a stranger in your skin, you

You just don't know your way around

And no-one knows which way to point you, oh

I got higher than I wanted, but Maria can meet me there

I just don't know if she'll still know me

With my blonde eyes and my brown hair!

[Chorus]

Can I get what I want? Can I do it?

I'm trying oh!

Can you get what you want? And can you do it without lying?

NO!

Can I get what I want? Can I do it?

I'm trying oh!

Can you get what you want? And can you do it without lying?

NO!

Can I get what I want? Can I do it?

I'm trying oh!

Can you get what you want? And can you do it without lying?

NO!

Can I get what I want? Can I do it?

I'm trying oh!

Can you get what you want? And can you do it without lying?

NO!

Can I get what I want? Can I do it?

I'm trying oh!

Can you get what you want? And can you do it without lying?

NO!

Can I get what I want? Can I do it?

I'm trying oh!

Can you get what you want? And can you do it without lying?

NO!

Can I get what I want? Can I do it?

I'm trying oh!

Can you get what you want? And can you do it without lying?

NO!

Can I get what I want? Can I do it?

I'm trying oh!

Can you get what you want? And can you do it without lying?

NO!

Can I get what I want Can I do it?

I'm trying oh!

Can you get what you want? And can you do it without lying?

NO!

Can I get what I want? Can I do it?

I'm trying oh!

Can you get what you want? And can you do it without lying?

NO!
