Roberts, Sam - If You Want It Lyrics






A getaway car full of bullet holes
Didn't stop pushin' till they broke the mold
Didn't die young but they didn't grow old, as well
The Necromancer, and the Southern belle
Sittin' outside the gates of hell
Lickin' their lips 'cause the ashes fell, again
And they were singin'

If you want it,
If you want it, well you're gonna have to take it from me
If you want it, well it's all for sale
Never gonna give it for free
If you want it,
If you want it, well you're gonna have to give me something
If you want it, well I need to know
What's in it for me?

Some will fall, some will fail
Some get lost in the masquerade
Looking' for the sun but you found the shade, again
The cosmic dancer, and my key desire
Holdin' on to the lightnin' rod
Looking for kicks but the plan was flawed, again
And again, they were singin'

If you want it,
If you want it, well you're gonna have to take it from me
If you want it, well it's all for sale
Never gonna give it for free
If you want it,
If you want it, well you're gonna have to give me something
If you want it, well I need to know
What's in it for me?

I remember love and the stars above
When push comes to shove, you run for cover
Found the scent again, you're hell bent again
And now you can't pretend to be a lover
In the afterlife, on the other side
Found peace of mind, undercover
You're the rock that rolls, you're the bell that tolls
You're the one that pulls me underwater

I'm livin' outside the law
I'm waitin' for the ice to thaw
Just listen for the crow to call, again
And again, we were singin'

If you want it,
If you want it, well you're gonna have to take it from me
If you want it, well it's all for sale
Never gonna give it for free
If you want it,
If you want it, well you're gonna have to give me something
If you want it, well I need to know
What's in it for me?

If you want it,
If you want it, well you're gonna have to take it from me
If you want it, well it's all for sale
Never gonna give it for free
If you want it,
If you want it, well you're gonna have to give me something
If you want it, well I need to know
What's in it for me?
What's in it for me?
What's in it for me?

    I listened to this song on my trip to Lethbridge on the radio and didn’t catch the real lyrics, title or artist. I’m so happy I know the real lyrics and not just the melody 😂😂

  15. U.... [....

    I'm not sure if I'm correct but at least what I can gather is a dude gets shot in possibly a bank robbery, considering there is an escape car at the beginning and he's talking to death and decides if they want his soul they have to take it cause he never has to enter so he can bargain? I dunno.

  16. f.... 0....

    I've said this before but as a songwriter myself I can say that Sam Roberts writes the best bridges out there - bar none.

  23. I.... ....

    Exactly how I pictured the music video to be after hearing this song for the first time. Awesome!

  24. W.... F....

    This is nostalgically refreshing since we are stuck in this musical shit show of 2017
