Don't You Want Me

Lyrics Translation

You were workin' as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on, you've got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don't forget, it's me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too

Don't, don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't, don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
It's much too late to find
You think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry

Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh

I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then, I knew I'd find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you
But now, I think it's time I live my life on my own
I guess it's just what I must do

Don't, don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't, don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
It's much too late to find
You think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry

Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh

Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh
Don't you want me, baby?

Don't you want me, baby?

You were workin' as a waitress in a cocktail bar
Você trabalhava de garçonete em um bar de coquetéis
When I met you
Quando eu te conheci
I picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around
Eu te escolhi, te sacudi e te virei
Turned you into someone new
Transformei você em uma nova pessoa
Now five years later on, you've got the world at your feet
Agora, cinco anos depois, você tem o mundo aos seus pés
Success has been so easy for you
O sucesso tem sido tão fácil para você
But don't forget, it's me who put you where you are now
Mas não se esqueça, fui eu quem te colocou onde você está agora
And I can put you back down too
E eu também posso te colocar de volta no lugar de onde você veio
Don't, don't you want me?
Não, você não me quer?
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Você sabe que eu não consigo acreditar quando ouço que você não quer me ver
Don't, don't you want me?
Não, você não me quer?
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
Você sabe que eu não acredito em você quando você diz que não precisa de mim
It's much too late to find
É muito tarde para se dar conta
You think you've changed your mind
De que você que mudou de ideia
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry
É melhor você voltar atrás ou nós dois vamos nos arrepender
Don't you want me, baby?
Você não me quer, bebê?
Don't you want me? Oh
Você não me quer? Oh
Don't you want me, baby?
Você não me quer, bebê?
Don't you want me? Oh

Com ou sem você
The five years we have had have been such good times
Os cinco anos que tivemos foram tempos tão bons
I still love you
Eu ainda te amo
But now, I think it's time I live my life on my own
Mas agora, acho que é hora de viver minha vida sozinha
I guess it's just what I must do
Acho que é apenas o que devo fazer

Success has been so easy for you
El éxito ha sido tan fácil para ti
But don't forget, it's me who put you where you are now
Pero no lo olvides, soy yo quien te puso donde estás ahora
And I can put you back down too
Y puedo bajarte también

Sabes que no te creo cuando dices que no me necesitas
It's much too late to find
Es demasiado tarde para encontrar
You think you've changed your mind
Crees que has cambiado de parecer
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry
Mas vale que lo cambies de nuevo o ambos lo lamentaremos
