Hey, slow it down 
What do you want from me 
What do you want from me 
Yeah, I'm afraid 
What do you want from me 
What do you from me 

There might have been a time 
I would give myself away 
(Ooh) Once upon a time 
I didn't give a [bad word] 
But now here we are 
So what do you want from me 
What do you want from me 

Just don't give up 
I'm workin' it out 
Please don't give in 
I won't let you down 
It messed me up, need a second to breathe 
Just [bad word] around 
Hey, what do you want from me 
What do you want from me 

Yeah, it's plain to see 
that baby you're beautiful 
And it's nothing wrong with you 
It's me – I'm a freak 
but thanks for lovin' me 
Cause you're doing it perfectly 

There might have been a time 
When I would let you step away 

I wouldn't even try but I think 
you could save my life 

Just don't give up 
I'm workin' it out 
Please don't give in 
I won't let you down 
It messed me up, need a second to breathe 
Just [bad word] around 
Hey, what do you want from me 
What do you want from me 

Just don't give up on me 
I won't let you down 
No, I won't let you down 

So 
Just don't give up 
I'm workin' it out 
Please don't give in 
I won't let you down 
It messed me up, need a second to breathe 
Just [bad word] around
