Everything I Want by Jace Everett

Gregious is a needy woman washed in the blood
To lead me down that straight and narrow way
Mama says, I need a girl who'll settle down
Have a son to carry on my family name

When I look at you, it's plain to me
You ain't got nothing that I need
But baby, you've got everything I want

I hear the radio singing about an endless kind of love
There's a good chance you'll be gone before daylight
The man in the mirror says you're gonna be hard to hold
And those strawberry lips might be my death tonight

Well, I look at you, it's plain to see
You ain't got nothing that I need
But baby, you got everything I want

Five foot ten, sun-kissed skin
You oughta be a crime
Head to toe you tend my soul
Like a taste of sweet moonshine

Anyone on earth can see
You're no good for me
But baby, you've got everything I want

So why do I run my fingers through your hair?
And tell me why can't I get close enough?
Lookin' in those Carolina eyes
Is like staring down the barrel of a gun

Like fruit on that forbidden tree
You ain't got nothing that I need
But baby, you've got everything

Five foot ten, sun-kissed skin
You oughta be a crime
Head to toe, you tend my soul
Like a taste of sweet moonshine

Anyone on earth can see
You're no good for me
But baby, you've got everything I want

What you got ain't what I need
But darlin' that's alright with me
'Cause baby, you've got everything I want

Everything I want
Everything I want
