Wanted, Dead or Alive: A Poetic Pop Culture Potpourri by Mike Meehan on February 17th, 2009

So whatcha, whatcha, whatcha want?

Whatcha want?

I know what I want, and I want it now.

I want candy.

I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day.

I want to break free.

I just don’t want to be controlled.

I want to have control,

I want a perfect body,

I want a perfect soul,

I want you to notice when I’m not around.

I wanna know what love is… I want you to show me.

You’re the one that I want, you are the one that I (OOH OOH OOH) honey.

All I want for Christmas is you.

I want you, I want you, I want you so bad.

I want you so bad, it’s driving me mad, it’s driving me mad.

I want to hold your hand.

I want you to want me.

I want to take you higher.

I just wanna love you.

I wanna lick lick lick lick you from your head to your toes

then I wanna move from the bed down to the down to the to the floor.

I just wanna fuck you.

I don’t wanna rape ya, I just want the papers.

Money! That’s what I want.

Do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to make me cry?

Oh baby, give me one more chance! I want you back!

If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends.

I just want real love.

I don’t want no scrubs.

I don’t want no short tort man.

I don’t want no one minute man.

I don’t wanna wait for our lives to be over.

I don’t wanna close my eyes,

I don’t wanna fall asleep cuz I’d miss you baby,

and I don’t wanna miss a thing.

All I want to know…

How do you want it?

You want a piece of me?

You want to make a memory?

Well, do ya?

Do ya do ya wanna wanna go where I never let you before?

Well, you can’t.

You can’t always get what you want.

You can’t always get what you want,

but if you try sometimes,

you might find,

you’ll get what you need.
