What Do You Want?
Words and Music by Les Vandyke
© 1959 by Mills Music Ltd

Adam Faith shared the Number One spot on Reg's 10th birthday.
I've done a sort of "Madness" version.

MIDI file

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, honey;
Wish you wanted my love, Baby.

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 me love, Baby.

Well, I’m offering you this heart of mine 
But all you do is play it cool,
Well, what do you want? Oh, Boy! 
You’re making a fool of me.

One of these days when you need my kissing,
One of these days when you want me, too,
Don’t turn around ‘cos I’ll be missing,
Then you’ll want-a my love, Baby.

Well, I’m offering you a diamond ring 
But all you do is turn me down,
Well, what do you want? Oh, Boy! 
You’re going to town on me.

One of these days when you need my kissing,
One of these days when you want me, too,
Don’t turn around ‘cos I’ll be missing,
Then you’ll want-a my love, Baby.
