Wanting

Isn't it sweet, out in the street, out in the sunshine?
Oh what a day, everyone's gay, isn't it so sublime?
Oh what a gas, aren't we the nazz*, aren't we just so divine?
On top of the world, I'm the happiest girl, in the summertime

And will I see the only home for me?
Tell me I'm beautiful, I promise I'll believe you this time

I came across me, a version of me, when I was nineteen
She was surprised, "Do you realize your life is a magazine?"
Yes this is true but what about you, is this what you'd foreseen?
'Cause it can be a bore, is there anything more, is there anything in between?

And will I see the only home for me?
Tell me I'm beautiful, tell me I'm beautiful
Tell me I'm beautiful, I promise I'll believe you this time

It's time to make a change, it's time to make a break and let go
Just take another drink, just take another break and let go

And will I see the only home for me?
Tell me I'm beautiful, I promise I'll believe you this time

Everything's sweet, out in the heat, out in the sunshine
A beautiful day in every way, isn't is so sublime?
How can I quit when they say I've got "it," and what is "it" this time?
Everything's cool, only a fool would leave when life is so fine

And will I see the only home for me?
Tell me I'm beautiful, tell me I'm beautiful
Tell me I'm beautiful, I promise I'll believe you this time
This time, this time, this time, this time...

*Yes, this is actually what the word is; "nazz" comes from A Clockwork Orange and means "cool."
