[Intro]
One, two
[Chorus]
What in the world do you want?
You're like a tree to a lumberjack
You get the best of a good man
And then you try to break his back
[Verse 1]
I know a pretty woman
And a pretty woman needs pretty things
But when I get you something pretty
You say you don't want it and I feel ashamed
So I take it to the store
Tell them I want my money back
Then I bring you all the money
You say you want much more than that
Oh, baby
[Chorus]
What in the world do you want?
You're like a tree to a lumberjack
You get the best of a good man
And then you try to break his back
[Verse 2]
Now, a woman is like a baby
She needs affection all the time
But when I try to show you affection, baby
You ask if I've lost my mind
So I kiss you now and then
'Cause I don't wanna make you a nervous wreck
You say I better kiss you more often
Or you'll take a stick and break my neck, ha-ha!
[Outro]
What in the world do you want?
What in the world do you want, oh baby
What in the world do you want?
What in the world do you want, oh baby
What in the world do you
