“Don’t Want What You Don’t Want” can be seen as Rostron’s earliest exploration of feminism and patriarchy, themes that would become more explicitly addressed in their later work, through songs such as “Patriarchy Over & Out” and “Misogyny Drop Dead”.
[Verse 1]
I wanted something from you
You didn’t want it from me
I wanted something from you
You didn’t want it from me
[Interlude 1]
Why don’t, don’t you want it
Like I want it
I will not want it no more
[Verse 2]
If Queen Elizabeth the 1st
Was alive and with me today
She’d say:
“Now, sit down girl
I’m gonna teach you to get
What you want the right way.”
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t want what you don’t want
Girl, don’t want what you don’t want, don’t want!
[Chorus]
Don’t want, don’t want
What you don’t want, don’t want [x5]
What you want
[Verse 3]
“Now, don’t you let society
Trick you into conformist roles
You follow your instincts, girl
You determine your own goals.”
[Interlude 2]
Just want (Oh, just want)
What you must want (What you must want)
Girl, just want (Oh, just want)
What you must want, must want
Oh, what you want
You gotta want, you gotta want [x6]
[Chorus]
Don’t want, don’t want
What you don’t want, don’t want [x21]
[Outro]
Oh, you
You gotta know what you want
You gotta know what you want
You gotta know what you want
Oh, you
You gotta know what you want
You gotta know what you want
You gotta know what you want
Oh, you!
You gotta know what you want
You gotta know what you want
You gotta know what you want
Ha ah, ha ah, oh!
