[Verse 1]
She gave me
She told me
She wanted
Things haunted
Three dozen
Dead roses
I could not
Deliver
[Pre-Chorus]
She said
"If you're my love
Why can't you give me what I want?"
[Chorus]
(Why can't you give me what I want?
Why can't you give me what I want?
Why can't you give me what I want?)
[Verse 2]
I left her
For the forest
To look for
Dead roses
But I found
White lilies
But I could
Not pick them
[Pre-Chorus]
She wanted more
Than I could ever give her
I cannot live with her. and I cannot live without her
[Chorus]
(Why can't you give me what I want?
Why can't you give me what I want?
Why can't you give me what I want?)
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
(Why can't you give me what I want?
Why can't you give me what I want?
Why can't you give me what I want?
Why can't you give me what I want?
Why can't you give me what I want?)
