If you tell me what you want
I won't stand in the way
I would never interfere
In you being who you are today
If you tell me that you want
A thing I don't understand
I'll be learning near you
Offer a helping hand
The things you want - I want for you
The time you need - I'll take for you
The fascination - I'll find for you
And the ways you love, I learn from you
The way you love, I'll learn from you
If you tell me that you want
A thing you do alone
Just leave a number, I'll be fine,
I'll see you when you get home
(chorus)
What you want - I won't stop it
What you need - I won't block it
When you cry - I'll be sadder
When you try - I'm your ladder
If you tell me what you want
Is something I did long ago
I'll back off and shut my mouth
You learn and then you know
(chorus)
"Oh baby only I
Can give you what you need"
What a foolish thing to say
And silly to believe!
And if you tell me what you want
Is me to flow in the night
I'll grow for you the best I can
And I'll keep your heart in sight
