KINGS OF LEON

- I Want You Lyrics

Get back on track, pick me up some bottles of booze
Fickle freshman probably thinks he's cooler than you
A hay ride, a fire, everybody's coming around
So go press your skirt, word is there's a new girl in town

I call shotgun, you can play your R 'n' B tunes
The fellowship time, it always comes a little too soon
The land of the creeps freshened up and baby faced shaved
Put your eyes on me and I know a place where we can get away

Just say I want you, just exactly like I used to
'Cause baby this is only bringing me down

Homeboy's so proud, he finally got the video proof
The night vision shows she was only ducking the truth
It's heavy I know, the black eye with the gift down below
A choke and a gag, she spit up and came back for more

And said I want you just exactly like I used to
And baby this is only bringing me down
She said I want you

I want you just exactly like I used to
And baby this is only bringing me down
I said I want you just exactly like I used to
And baby this is only bringing me down

What is the meaning behind I Want You lyrics?


When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, Kings of Leon's ballad 'I Want You' elaborates on a person who is looking back on a previous relationship and is sorry for being such a jerk because he still wants that person. Among others, the lyricists have chosen to represent the complexities of wanting someone with metaphors like 'fickle freshman' and 'land of the creeps'. They mainly focus on the themes of love, heartbreak, nostalgia, angst, and sometimes even the opposite—instead of simply partying. Besides, the song is on the one hand relating to nostalgia and longing, youth and social dynamics plus truth and deception on the other. There are elements and language in the lyrics that are quite adult-oriented and therefore, not really appropriate for kids below the age of 13. Expressions such as 'bottles of booze' together with implicit and explicit sexual relations point to the existence of adult content that is not suitable for very young kids.

What CD did you buy? Mine has no lyrics in it. Black CAT? Nope..that's obviously not right. Neither is black eye. It's definitely black GUY. Think about the context. It's the only one that makes sense
