What Do You Want from MeAlice Cooper

Released: September 23, 2003

Songwriter: Mikal Ryan Roxie Eric Dover Alice Cooper

Producer: Mudrock Alice Cooper

I call you every hour on the telephone
I work my fingers right down to the bone
I even got you a chihuahua so you wouldn't be alone
Got you a trailer about the size of Maine
Bought a mile of interstate in your name
I've given you everything, baby what do you want from me?

I burned all of my porno 'cause you were PMSing
You say it offends you, all the talking it never ends
Disconnected my X-Box and ditched all my friends
So you could go to the opera, dumped all of my girlfriends
Even the dirty ones, you say they annoy you, they want to destroy you
I've given you everything, baby what do you want from me?

Got you a picture you could put in a frame, wearing a suit all checkered and lame
I even signed it at the bottom so you'd remember my name
Took you to Target for a birthday meal
Got you an autographed Buns of Steel, So whats the deal?
I've given you everything, baby what do you want from me?

Burned all of my porno 'cause you were PMSing
You say it offends you, all the talking it never ends
Disconnected my X-Box and ditched all my friends
So you could go to the opera, dumped all my girlfriends
Even the dirty ones, you say they annoy you, they want to destroy you
I've given you everything, baby what do you want from me?

I give you everything
Ziroconian diamond rings
Got you Lo-Jack for your Pontiac
And some decals for your fingernails
And your bass master, singing trout
And a tv, and a cd and a dvd from QVC
And baby, whatcha think of me?

Burned all of my porno, you say it offends you
Disconnected my X-Box
Baby what do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?

Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper is the stage name and ‘fun villain’ character of Vincent Furnier. Cooper became the target of parents and ministers for his dark lyrics and gory theatrical performances that earned him the title Godfather of Shock Rock. Despite once claiming the name was conjured from a ouija board that told him he’s the reincarnation of a 17th century witch, Cooper laughs the topic off with flippant answers like “It was either a Scrabble board or a bowl of alphabet soup” and “I didn’t want a name like Iron Butterfly or Black Sabbath. I wanted it to be something your aunt might be called.”

The band Alice Cooper was originally signed by Frank Zappa to his own record label. Their first notoriety came when Cooper tossed a wayward chicken (possibly arranged by long-time manager Shep Gordon) into the crowd, who then tore it apart at the 1969 Toronto Rock ‘n’ Roll Revival Festival. Newspapers claimed he’d bit the bird’s head off and drank its blood. Zappa advised them to not deny the story and Cooper used it as inspiration to make his character darker.

The band’s teaming with producer Bob Ezrin for their third album Love It To Death led to their US breakthrough with a top 30 hit “I’m Eighteen” in early 1971. By then, the band was already infamous for their stage show, which had escalated into simulated torture and executions. That same year, Killer was released with its two singles “Under My Wheels” and “Be My Lover” finding moderate US success, and both albums being certified gold the following year.
