Dead Or Alive - What I Want Lyrics






What I want, what I need
I can have anything that I want

What I need, what I need, what I want
What I want, what I need, what I need

I can have anything that I want
But what you want from me I don't what none!
And I don't want to watch the TV
Because that stuff don't appeal to me!

But what I want's got simplicity
What I want it wants only me
What I want don't say no at all
Listen blue eyes, shut up!
You've got what I want, what I want
What I need, what I need
What I want what I want
What I need, what I need
You have got it all!

Well I know how to have a good time
And I know how to wipe up the thin white line
And I know how to let my backbone slip (uh!)
I can do what I want but I don't do nothing

But what I want's got simplicity
What I want it wants only me
What I want don't say no at all
Listen blue eyes, shut up!
You've got what I want, what I want
What I need, what I need
What I want what I want
What I need, what I need
You have got it all!

But what I want's got simplicity
What I want it want me, me, me
What I want well it ain't plucked chicken
Listen blue eyes, shut up!
You've got what I want...

    Show a música, banda excepcional e vocalista com um grande poder vocal.

  6. A.... J....

    This is DoA's best album by far, I additionally love Youthquake/Mad, Bad and Dangerous To Know/Nude and Fan the Flame, but Sophisticated Boom Boom is the most exclusive one. I definitely do not prefer Nukleopatra and Fragile, both albums are way too soulless.

    A.... J....

    Amadeus Jozzepi Zachanassian I agree and this one is very underrated. Youthquake and Sophisticated Boom Boom are my favorites.

  7. Z.... K....

    R.I.P. Pete and Steve... Never forgotten

  8. E.... 9....

    I’m 51yrs old. I don’t look it though.It was a privilege to be around back then when these new bands came out. The partying was the best as well. This song is so good. Aren’t we lucky to have memories?

    What I want, what I need
    I can have anything that I want

    What I need, what I need, what I want 
    What I want, what I need, what I need

    I can have anything that I want
    But what you want from me I don't what none
    And I don't want to watch the TV
    Because that stuff don't appeal to me

    But what I want's got simplicity
    What I want it wants only me
    What I want don't say no at all
    Listen blue eyes, shut up
    You've got what I want, what I want

    You have got it all

    Well I know how to have a good time
    And I know how to wipe up the thin white line
    And I know how to let my backbone slip (uh)
    I can do what I want but I don't do nothing

    But what I want's got simplicity
    What I want it wants only me
    What I want don't say no at all
    Listen blue eyes, shut up
    You've got what I want, what I want
    What I need, what I need
    What I want what I want
    What I need, what I need
    You have got it all

    But what I want's got simplicity
    What I want it wan't me, me, me
    What I want well it ain't plucked chicken

  22. P.... ....

    I am wondering who was the blue eyes.

    P.... ....

    Yah you know n we all know there is a particular person has blue eyes, but I think that's just coincidence.

    P.... ....

    +Pocketryu - Do tell!  :-)  The only people I can think of have brown eyes.  There was a certain blue-eyed individual later on, but not when this song was written.

    P.... ....

    MPH Pete n blue eyes know each other since the 70',  I don't know when this song was written. But blue eyes loved him very much n paid his whole funeral expenses.

    P.... ....

    +Pocketryu - Oh, so that's who you think "blue eyes" is.... Very interesting theory!!   ;-)  The song came out in 1983, so the time frame certainly fits.

    P.... ....

    MPH thank u for the info, then who was in your mind? Blue eyes said they amend their differences later after they became more mature. Nice talk to you.

  23. H.... M....

    una buena voz y potente el único de fecto fue su trasformación que no era nesesario

  24. Y.... d....

    I Love You and miss you!!! Rest in Peace

  25. J.... M....

    this man was very sexy. beutifull , icon 😎👍👏

  26. D.... U....

    The first song I ever heard from them. This was played often on L.A radio station KROQ-FM in 1983 and '84.

  27. d.... k....

    Makes you feel alive. In memory of Pete Burns.

    d.... k....

    Every time I listen to all the music that I have of Pete and Dead I just feel that he is with me like when I was 13 years old back in 1982. Pete will always be with us from Do it to Forbidden lover or International thing.... Love Pete forever

  28. s.... o....

    R.I.P pete...

  29. w.... ....

    It's a great song. The album was fab too. Happy days 😎🎶

  30. I.... B....

    The production is typical 80s, and it is a very cluttered song - yet it works. And Pete's voice is incredible. Very very danceable.

  31. M.... D....

    RIP ,you were great!

  32. D.... S....

    R.I.P. Pete Burns, another creative inspirational artist sadly dies too young.

  33. P.... S....

    takziah

  34. M.... S....

    may Pete rest in peace

  35. J.... K....

    RIP, Pete _/\_

  36. A.... L....

    By far my favorite Dead or Alive song, even though it wasn't their biggest hit

    A.... L....

    My favorite also.

    A.... L....

    Mine too. Remember how excited I was when I first heard it.

  37. G.... ....

    THE BEST MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  38. d.... ....

    one of my favorite songs

  39. c.... s....

    Dead or alive at there best

  40. m.... ....

    "How does it feel to treat me like you do..." Oops wrong song !

    m.... ....

    It's very different from blue monday by New order. And by the way, this song came out first.

    m.... ....

    And by the way, no it didn't. Blue Monday released March 83, What I Want released August 1983

    m.... ....

    You're right. Thought that this song was released before.

    m.... ....

    That might be because Blue Monday came back into the charts in the autumn and climbed higher than on its first run.

    m.... ....

    I wouldn't be surprised if Dead or Alive took inspiration from Blue Monday for this song, they sound a little bit similar.

  41. j.... s....

    All I can think of with this song is a Greco Roman orgy

    j.... s....

    +james santangelo - Yes... this one and "Sex Drive"!

  42. D.... M....

    this band is very cool, i more into rock music but i think they are better than depech mode & a-ha.

    D.... M....

    @DON RAMÓN this is Pop !

    D.... M....

    @Django Münchhausen I wouldn't exactly call Sophisticated Boom Boom a pop album...

  43. �.... �....

    Best song ever!!!

  44. �.... �....

    ,симпатичные парни в dead or alive и нравятся почти все песни особенно из youthquake

    �.... �....

    В особенности in too deep секси песенка

    �.... �....

    @Ирина Алонова sex drive тоже ничего)

  45. D.... H....

    It was this album that introduced me to Dead or Alive.  Blasted it in my bedroom and drove my mother nuts.  Then she learned to love them all before "Youthquake" was ever released.  Love, love, love!

  46. A.... E....

    I love how his voice has a differen sound to it in every album

    A.... E....

    Yeah, strange how he changed his style every album

  47. M.... ....

    It's a shame all they're widely remembered for is you spin me round...I mean that's a great song but there's so many of their forgotten classics like this. Good music is still possible to find you just gotta look a little bit harder :)

    M.... ....

    So true, so true.

    M.... ....

    This, absolutely nothing, I wanna be a toy, then there was you, cake and eat it and big daddy of the rhythm fit perfectly into that category.

    M.... ....

    Funny thing- I'm listening to this right now because my friend found it unacceptable that Right Round was the only song I knew

  48. P.... D....

    sophisticated boom boom

  49. m.... ....

    Great song forever

  50. s.... ....

    my siamese cat loves this song...i know its odd to say..but its true..she is the most musical animal ive ever had in my life..course ive also been a doa fan since 85 lol...

    s.... ....

    i love siamese cats !!!

  51. k.... ....

    love it <3

  52. j.... s....

    This song is amazing!
