Orfeh – What Do You Want From Me lyrics

Do you want me to be someone who
Lays the world at your feet?
Who'll do anything you ask her to?
Tell me baby, what you want from me.

Should I play it like a simple girl?
Follow wherever you lead?
Make you the center of my universe.
Tell me baby, what you want from me.

Chorus:

I've been your lover and I've been your friend
Everything you need
Still somehow you're not satisfied
Tell me baby, what you want from me.

I've been your beggar and I've been your queen.
Got down on my knees.
I've been everything that I could be.
Tell me baby, what do you want from me?

Should I dress up like a movie star
For everybody to see?
Empty smile, always hit my mark
Tell me baby, what you want from me.

Would you prefer that I just read your mind?
You mouth the words I should speak.
Wait for you to feed me every line.
Tell me baby, what you want from me.

Chorus

Somehow the girl I knew got lost along the way
I tried everything, I've done everything.
I've been everything... Except for me.

What do you want?

Chorus

I've been your beggar, I've been your queen
Got down on my knees
I've been everything that I could be
Tell me, tell me baby, baby, what do you want from me?

(What do you want, what do you want, what do you want, what do you want?)

I been your lover, what do you want, what do you want?

I been your lover, I been your friend, I been your beggar, everything...

(Fade out)
