Get What U Want (Live from Joe's Pub)
From the musical "Chasing Paper Skies"
Music & Lyrics by Nico Raimont & Christian Jimenez
[INTRO]
SOME PEOPLE STRUGGLE
BUT THAT’S NOT ON ME
IF LIFE’S HARD,
ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS SAY PLEASE
AND GET WHAT YOU WANT.
[VERSE]
YOU CAN ASK WITH YOUR HEAD
YOU CAN ASK WITH YOUR THIGHS
LAST RESORT, IS THE BREAD $$$
BUT YOU DON’T GOTTA COMPROMISE
[PRECHORUS]
A WARM BATH?
A HOT MEAL?
YOU WANNA LAST IN HERE?
PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE
CAUSE YOU GOT WHAT THEY NEED
[CHORUS]
GET WHAT YOU WANT.
BATT YOUR EYES
GET WHAT YOU WANT.
LET ‘EM INSIDE
GET WHAT YOU WANT
[VERSE 2]
I WASN’T BORN TO GROVEL
I WAS BORN TO EXCEL
AND I’LL SHINE LIKE A STAR EVEN IN HELL.
[PRE-CHORUS]
CAUSE I KNOW THE SYSTEM
AND IF YOU WANT MY TIPS,
LISTEN CLOSE, AND READ MY LIPS.
SAY PWEASE. PRETTY PWEASE.
[CHORUS]
GET WHAT YOU WANT.
BATT YOUR EYES
GET WHAT YOU WANT.
LET ‘EM INSIDE
GET WHAT YOU WANT
[BRIDGE]
IT’S LIKE EDEN IN THE DESERT.
BUT IT DIDN’T COME FREE.
I KNEW THE COSTS
BUT DAMN, ITS STILL HEAVY.
MOST DAYS, I ALMOST FORGET WHAT I’VE LOST.
UNTIL I DO.
[FINAL VERSE]
YOU CAN HAVE THIS TOO.
YOU JUST HAVE TO ASK
SAY PWEASE,
PUT ON A MASK,
[PRECHORUS]
AND LET THEM DO
WHAT THEY NEED TO DO.
AFTER ALL, YOU’RE NOT REALLY YOU.
[FINAL CHORUS]
GET WHAT YOU WANT.
BATT YOUR EYES
GET WHAT YOU WANT.
LET ‘EM INSIDE
GET WHAT YOU WANT
[CODA]
WE ALL WANT SOMETHING
SOMETHING SOMETHING
SO GET IT!
