I got to talk to you baby set the record straight

'Cause this relationship is goin ' from love to hate

You're always trying to make me

Do things that ' re really dumb

And we ' re always disagreein' on how to have fun

And you know I don ' t want what you want

I want what I want

Well you look like a yuppie and that ' s too bad

Yeah it used to be funny but now it ' s sad

And your friends are all stupid and they talk too much

And I ' d feel a lot better staying out of touch

And you know I don ' t want what you want

I want what I want

You can say goodbye to me honey

You can say goodbye to my money

I'm sittin' here callin from Tennessee

And I've been jammin'

With my buddies like I ought to be

And it feels real good bein' on my own

And I don ' t mind leaving you dry as bone

Cause you know I don't want what you want

I want what I want

Well it's all over it's just too late

And I'm so glad we're living in different states

You know I said it all before like I knew I should

But you got nothing in your head but a block of wood

And you know I don't want what you want

I want what I want

You know I don't want what you want

I want what I want

And you know I don't want what you want

I want what I want
