Roy Buchanan - Why Don't You Want Me lyrics

First you want it slow Then you want it fast You know that I gave you Whatever you asked. [chorus:] Now baby you've got me Whenever you want me So why don't you want me? You begged me to stay When I tried to go You told me you loved me And you'd need me so. And that's how you got me Just where you want me Told me "why don't you want me?" "I just wanna know." I worked just like a doggone mule Just to buy you pretty things And my friends think I'm a real real real big fool They think you've got me hanging like a puppet On your string I may be your fool I may be a clown I know, I know you want me Yes I do Whenever I'm not around. [chorus] [solo] I worked just like a doggone mule Just to buy you pretty things My friends and my family, They tell me that I'm a fool They think I'm like a puppet Dangling on your string I may be your fool I may be a clown I know,I know, I know you want me Yes you do And you need me when I'm not around Now honey you've got me Whenever you want me So why don't you want me? I know you've got me Yes you have, I know you've got me Tell me: Why don't you want me?
