[Verse 1]
Every now and then, we all want something
Even if there's no way of gettin' it
If I stomp my feet, could that maybe
Be the way around it?
Could I get myself around it?

[Chorus]
Gimme what I want
Everything I don't got
So, gimme what I want
'Cause I'm a big shot

[Verse 2]
Don't wanna always have to be so nice
Don't wanna hear you say, "Well, that's just life"
I'll drown you out when I open my mouth
And make my way around it
I always make my way around it

[Chorus]
Gimme what I want
Everything I don't got
Gimme what I want
'Cause I'm a big shot

[Post-Chorus]
So give me what I want
I always get what I want
You don't want to see me when
I don't get what I want, it's not what you want

[Verse 3]
I'm not about to take no for an answer, no
If I tell you I can't, I'm still gonna go
I did it all by myself and I found
I found my way around it

[Chorus]
Gimme what I want
Everything I don't got
Gimme what I want
'Cause I'm a big shot

[Post-Chorus]
So give me what I want
I always get what I want
You don't want to see me when
I don't get what I want, it's not what you want

[Bridge]
It's not too lovely
It could start to get ugly
It really bugs me
If I don't get my way

[Chorus]
Gimme what I want
Everything I don't got
So gimme what I want
'Cause I'm a big shot

[Post-Chorus]
So give me what I want
I always get what I want
You don't want to see me when
I don't get what I want, it's not what you want
If I don't get what I want, it's not what you want
