I Want You

I am in love with Kings of Leon. They are my new favourite band. I mean just the lead singer's voice, all that yearning squeezed into every syllable that leaves his gravelly throat. Just that alone. And the lyrics. Sample:

Get back on track, pick me up some bottles of booze
Fickle freshman, probably thinks he's cooler than you
A hay ride ,a fire, everybody's coming around
So go press your skirt, word is there's a new girl in town

I call shotgun, you can play your RnB tunes
The fellowship time, it always comes a little too soon
The land of the creeps, freshened up and babyfaced shame
Put your eyes on me, and I know a place where we can get away

Just say I want you, just 'zactly like I used to
'Cause baby this is only bringing me down

Homeboy's so proud, he finally got the video proof
The night vision shows she was only ducking the truth
It's heavy I know, the black guy with the gift down below
A choke and a gag, she spit up and came back for more

And said I want you, just exactly like i used to
And baby this is only bringing me down
She said I want you
I want you, just exactly like i used to
And baby this is only bringing me down
I said I want you, just exactly like i used to
And baby this is only bringing me down
