Notes and Quotes
 

Lyrics
a. What do you want if you don't want money? What do you want if you don't want gold?
Say what you want and I'll give it you darling. Wish you wanted my love baby.
b. What do you want if you don't want ermine? What do you want if you don't want pearls?
Say what you want and I'll give it you darling. Wish you wanted my love baby.
c. Well I'm offering you this heart of mine, but all you do is play it cool.
What do you want? Oh boy you're making a fool of me.
d. One of these days when you need my kissing. One of these days when you want me too.
Don't turn around cause I'll be missing. Then you'll wanta my love baby.
e. Well I'm offering you a diamond ring, but all you do is turn me down.
What do you want? Oh boy you're goin' to town on me.
