I wander into the conversation I'll move closer to you It's coming down to that old confrontation Only the faces are new But that's just how it goes tonight It only takes a little lie Just in case a lightbulb breaks and sparks fall on our head Skip the heartache, skip the sorrow Real life will resume tomorrow Don't regret what got you here Or you might as well be dead (I need you) I want you, don't say no I want you, don't say no I want you, don't say no Don't say no, don't say no I want you, don't say no I want you, don't say no I want you, don't say no Don't say no, don't say no There's no time for a hundred indecisions There's no time for visions or revisions But let's not get overly philosophic And better men than me have nailed by appealing to your logic So bless the father, bless the son Bless the priest and bless the nun They obey some higher cause that's lost on you and me See the cat, see the cradle If you're willing, if you're able Noone ever got very far by begging on their knees (I need you) I want you, don't say no I want you, don't say no I want you, don't say no Don't say no, don't say no I want you, don't say no I want you, don't say no I want you, don't say no Don't say no, don't say no I want you, don't say no I want you, don't say no I want you, don't say no Don't say no, don't say no I want you, don't say no I want you, don't say no I want you, don't say no Don't say no, don't say no
