(2nd verse:)
Don't try to be an inspiration.
Just waistin' your time, time, time.
You know about the best I'll ever be
I see it in your eyes.
I know I got a bad reputation,
and it isn't just talk, talk, talk.
If I could only give you everything
you know I haven't got.
(Refrain:)
Suddenly I'm on the street.
Seven years disappear below my feet.
Been breakin' down.
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Suddenly I'm in another place.
Lookin' in the crowd I think I see your face.
Been turnin' `round.
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
(down, down, down)
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
(down, down, down)
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Don't you think I've heard the talk?
Nobody's gonna
tell me who to love.
Been breakin' down.
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Suddenly I'm down on Harold's Square.
Lookin' in the crowd your face is everywhere.
Just turnin' `round.
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Been breakin' down.
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
I'm just breakin'
down, down, down, down.
Been breakin'
down, down, down, down.
