You know you never really gave it a chance
She said baby
nothing
lasts
forever
She's the sign of the times, these days
And so he took the hand she dealt
All these Kings without queens broken heart broken dreams and
Walked to the barbers at the wallmart
Went to work that day and brought a briefcase full of bullets to the office instead of holidays and now he's taking hostages and he always said, honey,
desperate
times
call
for
desperate
measures
And the TV crew, they showed up and put him out on
Channel two
And when she saw his face she didn't know
What to do
He said how
could
you
do
this
to
me?
Why don't you want me?
Why don't you need me?
Why don't you want me?
When you know that I want you,
You know I do
So the cops they lined their cars on the streets
Pulled out their guns and they
Chewed on their gum and they, they yelled
Let
all
of
your
hostages
free
So he did just as they said he let everyone go and instead
Took the ledge and
Stood high above the window
Damn he said because
without
her
love
I
am
already
dead
But then from down below he heard a voice somewhere that was oh so familiar to him
The cop
Turned around
Stupid rookie you know he
Shot him down
And when they saw his face up close
On his frown he said
How
could
you
do
this
to
me?
Why don't you want me? (You know you never really gave it a chance)
Why don't you need me? (You know you never really gave it a chance)
Why don't you want me?
When you know that I want you,
You know I do
When you know that I want you
You know I do
Why don't you want me?
Why don't you need me?
Why don't you want me?
When you know that I want you,
You know I do
Why don't you want me?
When you know that I want you,
When you know that I want you,
When you know that I want you
