What do you want?


I'm just eighteen what do you want?

I don't even have the time, 

To listen to your frank demands 

That sound like broken chimes.

 

I'm just eighteen what do you want?

And, yes, I'm quite high strung!

Don't expect a symphony,

When my song has just begun.

 

I'm just eighteen! What do you want?

Can someone tell me now?

Quit expecting me to know things. . .

Just help me and show me how!
