What Do You Want From Me
©Jerry Axson

You hang up the phone and curse my name,
if looks could kill I guess that I’m in the frame,
All my life -
all my days -
I’ve been someone else's -
mule for trade...
the son, worker, brother - it’s all the same...

What do you want from me?
what do you want from me?
I’ve done my time, paid the price,
I’m out of tricks and “good” advice - no more “magic” or “good” advice
what do you want from me???

I’ve watched a slow parade of fools year after year,
they took a piece of me every time they passed through here.
All my songs -
all my joy -
washed away -
into the void...
and I don’t get them back again...

Oooh - yeah...Oooh, Oooh, Oooh...
make it clear, let it go -
say it out loud so we both might know,
what do you want from me???
this is all you get. there’s no more left -
speak up now, get it off your chest,
what do you want from me???
