Bob Dylan's
Lyrics
Bob Dylan and Suze

What Was It You Wanted?

What was it you wanted?

Tell me again so I'll know.

What's happening in there,

What's going on in your show.

What was it you wanted,

Could you say it again?

I'll be back in a minute

You can get it together by then.

.

What was it you wanted

You can tell me, I'm back,

We can start it all over

Get it back on the track,

You got my attention,

Go ahead, speak.

What was it you wanted

When you were kissing my cheek?

.

Was there somebody looking

When you give me that kiss

Someone there in the shadows

Someone that I might have missed?

Is there something you needed,

Something I don't understand.

What was it you wanted,

Do I have it here in my hand?

.

Whatever you wanted

Slipped out of my mind,

Would you remind me again

If you'd be so kind.

Has the record been breaking,

Did the needle just skip,

Is there somebody waitin',

Was there a slip of the lip?

.

What was it you wanted

I ain't keepin' score

Are you the same person

That was here before?

Is it something important?

Maybe not.

What was it you wanted?

Tell me again I forgot.

.

Whatever you wanted

What could it be

Did somebody tell you

That you could get it from me,

Is it something that comes natural

Is it easy to say,

Why do you want it,

Who are you anyway?

.

Is the scenery changing,

Am I getting it wrong,

Is the whole thing going backwards,

Are they playing our song?

Where were you when it started

Do you want it for free

What was it you wanted

Are you talking to me?

.
