Hey, slow it down 
Whataya want from me 
Whataya want from me 
Yeah, I'm afraid 
Whataya want from me 
Whataya want from me 

There might have been a time 
I would give myself away 
Once upon a time 
I didn't give a [bad word] 
But now here we are 
So whataya want from me 
Whataya 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, whataya want from me 
Whataya 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, whataya want from me 
Whataya 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 
Hey, whataya want from me
