Don't you want me

"Don't you want me" is a song by LorD and Master featuring Coventry-based rapper Sir Kit. The song, originally by The Human League was selected for inclusion in the Featuring album after it was completed as it seemed to fit perfectly with the project.

Lyrics

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around
Turned you into someone new

Now five years later on, you've got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too

Don't
Don't you want me
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't
Don't you want me
You know I don't believe you when you say you don't need me

It's much too late to find
You think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will 
Both be sorry

Don't you want me, baby
Don't you want me oh-oh-oh-oh
Don't you want me, baby
Don't you want me oh-oh-oh-oh

I can't believe that you don't want me
Dead inside, turning into a zombie
I pulled you up and I pushed forward
How d'you what for you to just drop me

I could be sorry
I could be lonely
I could let out that you are a phoney
But the best thing for me to do right now 
Is to leave you with your new homies

Leaving you was the best thing ever
Yes, I thought that it was for ever
Yes, I thought that we'd be together
When we split people were like, "never!"

Now I'm a new man, doing my own thing
Late at night, it's me that you're phoning
Blocked your number and blocked your social
Left your life and I will keep going

Don't
Don't you want me
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't
Don't you want me
You know I don't believe you when you say you don't need me

It's much too late to find
You think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will 
Both be sorry

Don't you want me, baby (don't you want me?)
Don't you want me oh-oh-oh-oh
Don't you want me, baby (don't you want me?)
Don't you want me oh-oh-oh-oh

Don't you want me, baby
Don't you want me oh-oh-oh-oh
Don't you want me, baby (don't you want me?)
Don't you want me oh-oh-oh-oh

Don't you want me, baby
Don't you want me oh-oh-oh-oh
Don't you want me, baby
Don't you want me oh-oh-oh-oh
