Whatever You Want Lyrics

Whatever you want, whatever you like

Whatever you say, you pay your money

You take your choice, whatever you need

Whatever you use, whatever you win, whatever you lose

You're showing off, you're showing out

You look for trouble turn around give me a shout

I take it all, you squeeze me dry

And now today you couldn't even say goodbye

I could take you home

On the midnight train again

I could make an offer you can't refuse

Whatever you want, whatever you like

Whatever you say, you pay your money

You take your choice, whatever you need

Whatever you use, whatever you win, whatever you lose

You're showing off, you're showing out

You look for trouble turn around, give me a shout

I take it all, you squeeze me dry

And now today you couldn't even say goodbye

I could take you home

On the midnight train again

I could make an offer you can't refuse

Whatever you want, whatever you like

Whatever you say, you pay your money

You take your choice, whatever you need

Whatever you use, whatever you win

Whatever you lose, whatever you want
