Here Be Monsters - All I Want Lyrics

I don't want your adoration
I don't want a scepter or a crown
I don't want power, connections, wealth, or riches
Only the strength to turn them down
If and when they come around

And I don't want infatuation
I wanna earn the love I get
Cause if I don't, then it's someone else you're loving
And I'm just a placeholder for them

There's a lot that I don't want
Not much more than what I've got

I don't want your obfuscation
Come direct and come sincere
Cause if you don't, then it's both our time you're wasting
Why even bother being less clear?

And I don't want your grand occasions
Keep your soirees to themselves
I don't wanna schmooze, rub elbows, or climb ladders
Cause you can never unring that bell

There's a lot that I don't want
Not much more than what I've got

If I'm really being honest,
All I really want is you
And you can laugh, roll your eyes, make jokes
That won't make it any less true

There's a lot that I don't want
Not much more than what I've got
