He came into the house like some deranged Cat in the Hat
Standing over six feet tall and carrying a baseball bat
I said take anything you want and handed over all my cash
He flashed a broken boy scout grin and then began to laugh
He locked me in the basement I could hear him from below
As he went from room to room destroying everything I own
The telephone was ringing, he was screaming at the top of his lungs
"It's 12 o'clock, your time is up; ready or not, here I come!
Ready or not, here I come!
Ready or not, here I come!
Ready or not, here I come!"
Ah, tell me what you want
Won't you tell me what you want
Just tell me what you want
C'mon now, tell me what you want
Ah, tell me what you want
Won't you tell me what you want
Just tell me what you want
C'mon now, tell me what you want
As he dragged me up the stairs, I said, "There must be some mistake"
But common sense it had no chance, I could see it in his face
What doesn't k** me makes me stronger but I had all I could take
While I was blacked out on the couch he broke all he could break
He broke all he could break
He broke all he could break
He broke all he could break
Ah, tell me what you want
Won't you tell me what you want
Just tell me what you want
C'mon now, tell me what you want
Ah, tell me what you want
Won't you tell me what you want
Just tell me what you want
C'mon now, tell me what you want
Ah, tell me what you want
Won't you tell me what you want
Just tell me what you want
C'mon now, tell me what you want
Just tell me what you want
Won't you tell me what you want
Just tell me what you want
C'mon now, tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
