Waits, Tom - I Want You Lyrics






I want you, you, you
All I want is you, you, you
All I want is you
Give you the stars above, Sun on the brightest day
Give you all my love, if you would only say
I want you, you, you
All I want is you, you, you
All I want is you

    english is not my mother tongue, but i think he says "...if only you would see, that i want you ...."

    systemfailure101
    This is the most important line in the song and it goes "If only you would say that "I want you, you, you.." "
    Because at this moment, the meaning turns. That makes the song so unique and beautiful.

    It's so hard to believe this is the same Tom in "Come On Up To The House" or any other of his more "Deep/Raspy/Rough" voices. When you listen to this, and then that song (both are pretty much polar opposites), it's pretty amazing actually. It's amazing how one person can sound extremely/completely different in a matter of years. I mean, with most people you can tell it's the same person, but with him, if you didn't know it was him, you'd never know.

    taki krotki utwor, a tak wiele wyraza - uwielbiam :-)

    i love tom, but i hate how emotional it makes me in certain states of mind.

    Rabbit couldn’t agree more.

    Stunning

  35. J.... S....

    Simple and beautiful

  36. T.... ....

    WHY THE FUCK ONLY 1 MINUTE AND 19 SECONDS !!! sooo beautifull song ....

  37. j.... ....

    Tom didn't exactly heighten his smoking regimen, maybe just showed up in the public eye with an ever-present cigarette for show. Early Tom is an earnest young guy trying to be an artist but by 1975 he decided being "in character" was cooler and he purposely coarsened his voice for those raspy vocals intentionally. And his speaking voice is a rough one even after he quit smoking. I read an uncle of his who went through throat operations had a similarly funny voice Tom was always mesmerized by.

  38. C.... ....

    I must say, I love the transitional stage...but this is a pretty awesome version of Tom Waits. :)

  39. E.... T....

    I adore this man.

  40. M.... G....

    Some people need a lifetime. Tom said it in one minute and nineteen seconds.

  50. R.... F....

    When I got married I used this song for our first dance, it was amazing.

  55. L.... P....

    Love this song!

  56. M.... R....

    il minuto e diciannove più intenso di sempre

  57. B.... L....

    I think this song would be worse if it were longer... seriously, it's short and sweet. In every way it can be.

  58. J.... ....

    If only anybody would use this song as beginning and make it longer

  59. J.... M....

    This song is love. Incredibly beautiful, surprisingly brief, and when it ends you do anything to try to make it start again.

  60. L.... P....

    Now I have known this song forever, and finally found the one to play it to.
    Thank you Tom Waits.

  61. p.... ....

    Sempre...

  62. m.... ....

    <3 una canzone d'amore a tutti gli effetti...

  63. J.... A....

    That's exactly right. Tom Waits is a genius.

  64. B.... S....

    I want to be a billionaire

  65. C.... ....

    that's really brilliant... I've done a cover of this beautiful song, check it out if you want!

  66. l.... t....

    So simple and so sweet.

  67. y.... ....

    Long way from this to "...there is always free cheddar in a mousetrap, baby!"

  68. M.... P....

    @alx90x

    yep
    same guy
    whole life story and very real
    Tom has done well
    And shared some of it with us
    Look after yourself
    its us trying to give it to the next Gen

  69. J.... ....

    Ever since I discovered this song I can't stop listening to it. He is so genuine and organic and heartfelt that it just brings me to tears.

  70. b.... ....

    This song describes in 1:19 minute exactly how i feel, better than a thousand words ever could. I love you for this song, Tom.

  71. k.... ....

    @chasersbf Shit. This song is definitly about being in love with somone you can not have.

  72. B.... ....

    YOU, YOU, YOU!
    NOT SOMEONE LIKE YOU!
    YOU, YOU, YOU!
    IS THAT CLEAR?
    ALL I WANT IS YOU. YOU, YOU!

  73. M.... J....

    It's just beaty itself, it's desperation, fear and anger, and yet, it's love.

  74. G.... C....

    So simple, and yet so deep. Wonderful!

  75. b.... ....

    @008maguire You just put your finger on Tom Waits' lyrics as well as his music. Pure Truth.

  76. c.... ....

    @alx90x.....same wonderful man!

  77. k.... ....

    Genius: Capturing every emotion in love within 1 minutes 19 seconds

  78. b.... C....

    Nice little find. I thought I had heard all there ever was for Mr. Waits but there seems to be another new song (one I haven't heard) all the time and I can't get enough of them!

  79. M.... ....

    79 seconds of truth.

  80. a.... ....

    To those who aren't familiar with this album, it is a MUST buy. It's called "Tom Waits - The Early Years Volume 2" and it contains a lot of demos he did when he was around 22 or 23. Most of the songs ended up on later albums but the album is notable because a lot of the songs were written on guitar and his voice is clearer. I love lo-fi and demos, so I think the early years albums are amazing. Check them out!

  81. M.... A....

    @LadyeXo YOu know I was look at my inbox just now and I saw someone replied to my comment on this video and I was like "...wait a second, I'm listening to the very video right now!' :D

  82. S.... I....

    @MarkArandjus I agree completely. I first discovered him through one of his tamer songs, "Clap Hands" sung to me by an old friend. As I continue, I fall more in love with every note!

  83. M.... A....

    If you're new to Tom (like me), it's a real treat going from video to video, you never know what you'll find, from balad-ish songs like this, to bluesy songs like Walk Away, rock'n'roll types like Lie To Me and bizzare ones like God's Away on business which I can only describe as... I dunno, death folk? The man is a musical powerhouse. Powerhouse I say!

  84. m.... ....

    @insertafeckingname Mr. Waits is capable of sounding every adjective that exists...and a few that don't.

  85. C.... J....

    I just LOVE this SO much, thanks for posting :-)

  86. o.... ....

    @Lowieken73 What? Chocolate Jesus is by Tom Waits too. He was kidding!

  87. S.... C....

    @alx90x LOL, no it isn't :p That was another great musician ! Elvis Costello ;)

    Since it's 5 months ago, and 27 people have voted your answer as a thumb's up and it's the top answer now, you probably knew that allready !

  88. M.... ....

    beauty :)

  89. p.... ....

    This song is beautiful..
    The shortness of it is also perfect, like there is nothing left to say but these few words...

  90. H.... ....

    So nice!
    Makes U think!

  91. k.... ....

    @VELVETORCA I agree its so full of emotion it does not need to be long it takes my breath . beautiful

  92. T.... ....

    @VELVETORCA Could not have said it better myself.

  93. a.... ....

    class..

  94. D.... ....
