"Why Can't You Give Me What I Want" lyrics

"Why Can't You Give Me What I Want"

She gave me
She told me
She wanted
Things haunted
Three dozen
Dead roses
I could not, deliver

She said
If you're my love
Why can't you give me what I want
(Why can't you give me what I want)
(Why can't you give me what I want)
(Why can't you give me what I want) want...

I left her
For the forest
To look for dead roses
But I found, white lilies
But I could, not pick them

She wanted more
Than I could ever give her
I cannot live with her
And I cannot live without her

Why can't you give me what I want
Why can't you give me what I want
Why can't you give me what I want
...
