| I want somebody who sees the pointlessness | 
| And still keeps their purpose in mind | 
| I want somebody who has a tortured soul | 
| Some of the time | 
| I want somebody who will either put out for me | 
| Or put me out of my misery | 
| Or maybe just put it all the words | 
| And make me go, you know | 
| I never heard it put that way | 
| Make me go, what did you just say? | 
| I want somebody who can hold my interest | 
| Hold it an' never let it fall | 
| Someone who can flatten you | 
| With a kiss that hits like a fist | 
| Or a sentence that stops me | 
| Like a brick wall | 
| If you hear me talking | 
| Listen to what I’m not saying | 
| If you hear me playing guitar | 
| Listen to what I’m not playing | 
| Don’t ask me to put words | 
| To all the silences I wrote | 
| And don’t ask me to put words | 
| To all the spaces between notes | 
| In fact if you have to ask | 
| Forget it, you’ll regret it | 
| I’m tired of being the interesting one | 
| I’m tired of having fun for two | 
| Just lay yourself on the line | 
| And I might lay myself down by you | 
| But don’t sit behind your eyes | 
| And wait for me to surprise you | 
| I want somebody who can | 
| Make me scream until it’s funny | 
| Give me a run for my money | 
| I want someone who can twist me up in knots | 
| Tell me, for the woman who has everything | 
| What have you got? | 
| I want someone who’s not afraid of me | 
| Or anyone else | 
| In other words, I want someone | 
| Who’s not afraid of themself | 
| Do you, do you, do you think I’m, I’m asking too much? | 
| Do you think I am asking too much? | 
| What do you think, I’m asking too much? | 
| Oh, yet do you think I’m asking too much? | 
| What do you think, I’m asking too much? | 
| That, that, do you think I’m asking too much? | 
| What do you think, I’m asking too much? | 
| Oh, do you think I’m asking too much? | 
| What do you think, I’m asking too much? | 
| Do you think, I’m asking too much? |
