Sam Roberts Lyrics
"If You Want It"

[Verse 1]
A getaway car from bullet holes
Didn't stop pushing till we broke the mold
Didn't die young, but they didn't grow old as well
The necromancer and Southern belles
Sittin' outside the Gates of Hell
Licking their lips because the ashes fell again
And now we're singin'

[Chorus]
If you want it
If you want it, well, you're gonna have to take it from me
If you want it, well, it's up ___? for sale, I'm never gonna give it for free
If you want it
If you want it, well, you're gonna have to give me something
If you want it, well, I need to know: what's in it for me?

[Verse 2]
Some will fall, some advance ___?
Some get lost in the masquerade
Lookin' for a sun, but you found the shade again
The cosmic dancer, the Marquis de Sade ___?
Holding onto the lightning rod
Looking for kicks, but the plan was flawed again
And again they we're singin'

[Chorus]
If you want it
If you want it, well, you're gonna have to take it from me
If you want it, well, it's up for sale, I'm never gonna give it for free
If you want it
If you want it, well, you're gonna have to give me something
If you want it, well, I need to know: what's in it for me?

[Bridge]
I remember love in the stars above
When push comes to shove, they're all for coverup
Found safety again, your head built again
Now you can't pretend to be a lover
In the afterlife, on the other side,
You found peace of mind undercover
You don't want the rules
You're the belle de jours ___?
You're the one that pulls me like a rubber ___?

[Verse 3]
I'm living outside the law
I'm waiting for the ice to thaw
Just listen for the crow of the call again
And again we we're singin'

[Chorus]
If you want it
If you want it, well, you're gonna have to take it from me
If you want it, well, it's up for sale, I'm never gonna give it for free
If you want it
If you want it, well, you're gonna have to give me something
If you want it, well, I need to know: what's in it for me?
If you want it
If you want it, well, you're gonna have to take it from me
If you want it, well, it's up for sale, I'm never gonna give it for free
If you want it
If you want it, well, you're gonna have to give me something
If you want it, well, I need to know: what's in it for me?

[Outro]
What's in it for me?
What's in it for me?
