I wish I had known you
When I was just a kid
I was crazy enough then
To care about everything
Now it's 3 pm and I'm drunk again
At your apartment
The blinds are shut
And I'm all but falling again
And if I'm another boy like all the rest
You're a question mark in a summer dress
Burning your nights on down Jefferson
She says, "Regret's another word
For a life we could've led
Why deny yourself something
That leaves you wondering?
What's it matter in the end?
You'll wind up in my bed"
She says, "I know
You always get just what you want"
She says, "I know
You always get just what you want"
"You can try to fight it, but I know your life
You'll say you love me once I say goodbye"
Boy, you always get just what you want"
The older I get
The harder it is to feel anything
Like growing up
Is just the numbing of the day to day
So if you're gonna come talking all that shit
While you're stumbling
You better believe
I'm gonna call you on every word you say
How can you say I get everything
When I've spent my whole heart?
Chasing after the things
You were born with from the start
You keep bringing her up say you don't know her
Then you fuck up her name
Well you got the first letter right
You think I don't know this game?
She says, "Regret's another word
For a life we could've led
Why deny yourself something
That leaves you wondering?
What's it matter in the end?
You'll wind up in my bed"
She says, "I know
You always get just what you want"
She says, "I know
You always get just what you want"
"You can try to fight it, but I know your life
You'll say you love me once I say goodbye"
Boy, you always get just what you want"
