Christine Lavin - All You Want Is What You Want lyrics

Pounding the pavement in New York City in my sweat clothes I don't look pretty a mother and a daughter are having a fight up ahead beneath the flickering street light They get loud as I get near they don't care who can hear the mother's wavin' her arms in a wild way when I get close I hear her say All you want is what you want psychodrama doesn't do it for me All you want is what you want psychodrama doesn't do it for me All you want is what you want psychodrama doesn't do it for me All you want is what you want psychodrama doesn't do it for me They cross the street I trail behind I can't help it I've a curious mind the daughter's walkin' so fast the mother can't keep up she's screaming at her kid she's screaming at the truck She's screaming at pedestrians screaming at cars she's screaming at the earth screaming at the stars she's at her wit's end she's on the brink she needs therapy or a drink All you want is what you want psychodrama doesn't do it for me All you want is what you want psychodrama doesn't do it for me All you want is what you want psychodrama doesn't do it for me All you want is what you want psychodrama doesn't do it for me the mother's in a smart jacket and sensible shoes the daughter's got a shaved head and neck tattoos the mother keeps screaming

the daughter just stares wishes she was anywhere but he-eee-eeeeer All you want is what you want psychodrama doesn't do it for me All you want is what you want psychodrama doesn't do it for me All you want is what you want psychodrama doesn't do it for me All you want is what you want psychodrama doesn't do it for me I don't know how the story ends will the mom calm down will the hair grow in will they make their peace will they drift apart will she pierce her tongue and her mom's heart or will they laugh and shake their heads at all the crazy things they said but for the anger is all too real hurt is what they both feel All you want is what you want psychodrama doesn't do it for me All you want is what you want psychodrama doesn't do it for me All you want is what you want psychodrama doesn't do it for me All you want is what you want psychodrama doesn't do it for me I don't know how the story ends will the mom calm down will the hair grow in will they make their peace will they drift apart will she pierce her tongue and her mom's heart I don't know how the story ends will the mom calm down will the hair grow in will they make their peace will they drift apart will she pierce her tongue and her mom's heart I don't know how the story ends
