Don’t You Want Me

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 that 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
Don’t you want me baby? Don’t you want me oh

I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then I knew I’d find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you
But now I think it’s time I lived my life on my own
I guess it’s just what I must do

Don’t you want me baby? Don’t you want me oh
Don’t you want me baby? Don’t you want me oh

黃耀明/At17 版本的 Don’t You Want Me 於最近一次演唱會；明哥過往翻唱過幾首英文歌，最動聽的應該是 SUEDE 既 Saturday Night ，雖然唱漏了歌詞，但仍是百聽不厭；另外也唱過 Trash ，但這首只演譯得一般，沒甚麼驚喜 ；Material girl，都唔錯啊 。

Saturday Night

Today she’s been working she’s been talking she’s been smoking
but it’ll be alright
Cos tonight we’ll go dancing we’ll go laughing we’ll get car sick
and it’ll be okay like everyone says it’ll be alright and ever so nice
We’re going out tonight out and about tonight.

Oh whatever makes her happy on a Saturday night
Oh whatever makes her happy whatever makes it alright.

Today she’s been sat there sat there in a black chair, office furniture,
but it’ll be alright,
Cos tonight we’ll go drinking we’ll do silly things,
and never let the winter in,
And it’ll be okay like everyone says, it’ll be alright and ever so nice,
We’re going out tonight, out and about tonight.

Oh, whatever makes her happy on a Saturday night,
Oh, whatever makes her happy, whatever makes it alright.

We’ll go to peepshows and freak shows,
We’ll go to discos, casinos,
We’ll go where people go and let go
oh whatever makes her happy
