What I Want (feat. Tate McRae) Lyrics by Morgan Wallen

She said, “You don’t want this heart, boy, it’s already broke”
Told me everything she touch just goes up in smoke
Only stay a couple nights, then she gon’ be gone
I said, “Baby, you should know that’s what I want”
That’s what I want, that’s what I want
That’s what I want, that’s what I want, that’s what I want
What I wantAnd you ain’t gotta worry ’bout no trust issues with me
I got ’em too, I got ’em too
You ain’t gotta worry ’bout no exes that’s crazy
I got ’em too, you know I do

If you’re in a hurry
Nah, you ain’t gonna hurt me tonight
And it won’t be the worst thing
If this is all it is
And in the middle of a kiss

She said, “You don’t want this heart, boy, it’s already broke”
Told me everything she touch just goes up in smoke
Only stay a couple nights, then she gon’ be gone
I said, “Baby, you should know that’s what I want”
That’s what I want, that’s what I want
That’s what I want, that’s what I want, that’s what I want
That’s what I want
That’s what I want
What I want

There are no hard feelings if you only wanna act like lovers do
For a night or two
Ooh, oh yeah
And sometimes in the mornin’ go back to bein’ someone you never knew
You never knew

Baby, don’t you worry, you ain’t gonna hurt me tonight
It won’t be the worst thing
If this is all it is
Then she kissed me again

And said, “You don’t want this heart, boy, it’s already broke”
Told me everything she touch just goes up in smoke
Only stay a couple nights, then she gon’ be gone
I said, “Baby, you should know that’s what I want”

She said, “You don’t want this heart, nah, it can’t be fixed
And I ain’t ready to try on a night like this
But if you still wanna stay, there ain’t nothin’ wrong”
There’s nothin’ wrong
I said, “Baby, you should know that’s what I want”
That’s what I want, that’s what I want
That’s what I want, that’s what I want, that’s what I want
That’s what I want
Yeah
That’s what I want, that’s what I want, that’s what I want
Yeah
That’s what I want
Oh yeah, oh
That’s what I want, that’s what I want
