Lyrics: Jace Everett. Everything I Want.

Gregious is a needy woman washed in the blood

To lead me down that straight and narrow way

Mama says, I need a girl who'll settle down

Have a son to carry on my family name



When I look at you, it's plain to me

You ain't got nothing that I need

But baby, you've got everything I want



I hear the radio singing about an endless kind of love

There's a good chance you'll be gone before daylight

The man in the mirror says you're gonna be hard to hold

And those strawberry lips might be my death tonight



Well, I look at you, it's plain to see

You ain't got nothing that I need

But baby, you got everything I want



Five foot ten, sun-kissed skin

You oughta be a crime

Head to toe you tend my soul

Like a taste of sweet moonshine



Anyone on earth can see

You're no good for me

But baby, you've got everything I want



So why do I run my fingers through your hair?

And tell me why can't I get close enough?

Lookin' in those Carolina eyes

Is like staring down the barrel of a gun



Like fruit on that forbidden tree

You ain't got nothing that I need

But baby, you've got everything



Five foot ten, sun-kissed skin

You oughta be a crime

Head to toe, you tend my soul

Like a taste of sweet moonshine



Anyone on earth can see

You're no good for me

But baby, you've got everything I want



What you got ain't what I need

But darlin' that's alright with me

'Cause baby, you've got everything I want



Everything I want

Everything I want
