I Want What I Want Songtext

von Kim Wilde

People tell their stories
Of what their life is not
Wasted years and broken dreams
They never gave a shot

I'm not gonna hold on while my life is flashing
Parachute off this plane because it's crashing

I want what I want not what I need
Getting what you get no it ain't so bad
But I want what I want not what I need
I need to live it up I need to live it up now

Looking in the mirror
Tell me who do you see today
So conformed and broken
How did it get this way

Tell me have you said your goodbyes to freedom
Where are your dreams now you really need them

I want what I want not what I need
Getting what you get no it ain't so bad
But I want what I want not what I need
I need to live it up I need to live it up now

I want what I want not what I need

This could have been my story
This could have been my way
But no guts, no glory
It's not a game I want to play

Tell me have you said your goodbyes to freedom
Where are your dreams now you really need them

I want what I want not what I need
I want what I want not what I need
