Amanda Palmer & The Grand Theft Orchestra - Want it Back Lyrics

Hearts on a string like an older-fashioned phone can
Bang ringy ring and you think you're gonna get some
Thing you can bring to a party at your wake not
Thinking of the thing that you pay back when you take it
Take it

Like rats in a cage pushed the button got the
Shock
Trick

Snickers in your bag
Had your number but i lost it
Bets are all off you're a lily-livered giver indie
In the hidden costs you're a sucker and you win

It doesn't matter if you want it back
You've given it away
You've given it away
It doesn't matter if you want it back
You've given it away
Away away away away away oh

He's already on the outskirts
I'm still pulling at his sweatshirt
He says fate is not a factor
I'm in love with every actor

So

Once when your gone and i wanna do it backwards
Just like the song we're addicted to the l-word
Up past your head down your back around your ankles
Ready for attack you're upstaged and then you're strangled

Cringe like you're cursed with your wrecking ball-y necklace
I saw it first and i crushed it with my hamfist
High for the contest who's the better
Not see
Eye to eye to eye and now you're blind and you can't
Catch me

Catch me
If you can
(he's already on the outskirts)
If you can
(i'm still pulling on his sweatshirt)
If you can
(he says fate is not a factor)
If you can
(i'm in love with every actor)

It doesn't matter if you want it back you've given it away
You've given it away
It doesn't matter if you want it back you've given it away
You've given it away…

He's already on the outskirts
I'm still pulling at his sweatshirt
He says fate is not a factor
I'm in love with every actor…

I will let you go if you will let some
I will let you go if you will let somebody
I will let you go if you will let somebody love you
I will let you go if you will let somebody love you like
I will let you go if you will let somebody love you like i do…
