[Verse 1]
I recognize that look you'd hardly call pleasant surprise
Then a sudden change, an early night
Did I get a bit too deep or white?
[Verse 2]
Oh, I understand how selfish of me to drift off then
I'd love to stick around
Will you crush my hand?
So easy goings oh so blind [?]
[Chorus]
How can you really want me
If you only want me to be what you want?
Only seem to like me when I play nicely
Is that what you want?
I could play the part and bury parts of myself in the garden
To make you love me
Won't that be lovely?
How can you really want me
If you only want me to be what you want?
Only seem to like me when I play nicely
Is that what you want?
I could turn myself into anothеr version, different pеrson
To make you love me
Will you think I'm lovely?
Will you think I'm–
[Verse 3]
It seems like you must have had your heart set on
The one you built up
And are you disappointed all because
The real thing doesn't measure up?
Oh, was it too much?
[Chorus]
How can you really want me
If you only want me to be what you want?
Only seem to like me when I play nicely
Is that what you want?
I could play the part and bury parts of myself in the garden
To make you love me
Won't that be lovely?
How can you really want me
If you only want me to be what you want?
Only seem to like me when I play nicely
Is that what you want?
I could turn myself into another version, different person
To make you love me
Will you think I'm lovely?
[Bridge]
You say I've changed
You say it like it's a bad thing
And maybe you assume that you already knew me
[Chorus]
How can you really want me
If you only want me to be what you want?
Only seem to like me when I play nicely
Is that what you want?
I could play the part and bury parts of myself in the garden
To make you love me
Won't that be lovely?
How can you really want me
If you only want me to be what you want?
Only seem to like me when I play nicely
Is that what you want?
I could turn myself into another version, different person
To make you love me
Will you think I'm lovely?
Will you think I'm–

What have the artists said about the music video?
It was the director Dylan’s wonderful idea to use a split-screen, and with the song being about different versions of oneself it kind of became a way to show that. It’s a bit weird and I love it, I won’t say anymore…

What did Morgan Harper-Jones say about "Want Me"?
‘Want Me’ details the ways in which we change ourselves: [It’s] the idea of being a jigsaw piece and trying to push yourself into this hole. But you don’t need to abandon yourself to be chosen by somebody, and if you do… they’re not your person.
I was actually super angry when I wrote ‘Want Me’. I...
