Quite by Accident

I want you by Fiona Apple


Oh my baby, baby
I love you more than I can tell
I don't think I can live without you
And I know that I never will

Oh my baby, baby
I want you so it scares me to death
I can't say anymore than "I love you"
Everything else is a waste of breath

I want you
You've had your fun
You don't get, well, no more
I want you
Your fingernails go dragging down the wall 
Be careful, darling
You might fall

I want you
I woke up and one of us was crying
I want you
You said "Young man, I do believe you're dying,"
I want you
If you need a second opinion
(As you seem to do these days)
I want you
You can look in my eyes
And you can count the ways

I want you
Did you mean to tell me, but seem to forget?
I want you
Since when were you so generously inarticulate?
I want you
It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for
It's the way your shoulders shake
And what they're shaking for
I want you
It's knowing that he knows you now
After only guessing
It's the thought of him undressing you
Or you undressing

I want you
He tossed some tatty compliment your way
I want you
And you were fool enough to love it
When he said "I want you"

I want you
The truth can't hurt you
It's just like the dark
It scares you witless 
But in time you see things clear and stark
I want you
Go on and hurt me
Then we'll let it drop
I want you
I'm afraid I won't know where to stop
I want you
I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you
I want you
I want to know the things you did that we do too
I want you
I want to hear he pleases you more than I do
I want you
I might as well be useless for all it means to you
I want you
Did you call his name out as he held you down?
I want you
Oh no, my darling, not with that clown...
I want you

You've had your fun
You don't get, well, no more
I want you
No one who wants you could want you more

I want you
I want you
Every night when I go off to bed
And when I wake up
I want you
I'm going to say it once again
Till I instill it
I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it
I want you
I want you
I want you... 


I found this song quite by accident on youtube.  I had though it was awesome... and then I read this:

Rated -1 

Actually, while the song is rather creepy (and awesome), it's not as simple as a cheating spouse. Originally titled "House", this song was a Side B that wasn't really ever meant to be recorded. Costello was drunk during the recording session. It is a tragic story told from the point of view of a man who's lover is admitted to an asylum, where she is repeatedly raped by a night guard. In her drugged and disorientated state, she is in a sense brainwashed into falling in 'love' with the guard, and grows distant to her anguished lover, who has figured out what has been going on, but can't do anything to stop it. By the end of the song, the man has been so distraught about the situation, he becomes insane himself... "

Now it's... sad.
