What Was It You Wanted (Dylan 30th Anniversary)Willie Nelson

Songwriter: Bob Dylan

Producer: Don DeVito Jeff Rosen

[Verse 1]
What was it you wanted?
Tell me again so I’ll know
What’s happening in there?
What’s going on in your show?
What was it you wanted?
Could you say it again?
I’ll be back in a minute
You can get it together by then

[Verse 2]
What was it you wanted?
You can tell me, I’m back
We can start it all over
And get it back on the track
You got my attention
Go ahead, speak
What was it you wanted
When you were kissing my cheek?

[Verse 3]
Was there somebody looking
When you give me that kiss?
Someone there in the shadows?
Someone that I might have missed?
Is there something you needed?
Something I don’t understand?
What was it you wanted?
Do I have it here in my hand?

[Verse 4]
Whatever you wanted
Slipped out of my mind
Would you remind me again?
Would you be so kind?
Has the record been breaking?
And did the needle just skip?
Is there somebody waiting?
Was there a slip of the lip?

[Verse 5]
What was it you wanted?
I ain’t keeping score
Are you the same person
That was here before?
Is it something important?
Maybe not
What was it you wanted?
Tell me again, I forgot

[Verse 6]
Whatever you wanted
What could it be?
Did somebody tell you
That you could get it from me?
Is it something that comes natural?
And is it easy to say?
What was it you wanted?
And who are you anyway?

[Verse 7]
Is the scenery changing?
And am I getting it wrong?
Is the whole thing going backwards?
Are they playing our song?
Where were you when it started?
Do you want it for free?
What was it you wanted?
Are you talking to me?

Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (April 29, 1933) is a singer-songwriter and musician. He was born in Abbott, TX and raised by his grandparents during the great Depression.

He achieved some success in the early 60’s as a crooner, a la Bobby Darin, but turned away from popular music to Country in the late 60s. His albums Shotgun Willie (1973), Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978) made him one of the most recognized artists in country music.

Nelson has released over 70 studio and live albums in his career, and still records and performs today.
