Every now and then we all want somethin', 
Even if there's no way of gettin' it. 
If I stomp my feet quick that maybe be the way around it,
Could I get myself around it.

Get me what I want,
Everything I don't got
So give me what I want 
Cause I'm a big shot

Don't wanna always have to be so nice don't 
Wanna hear you say well that's just life
I'll drown you out when I open my mouth,
And make my way around it.
I always make my way around it.

Get me what I want,
Everything I don't got.
Give me what I want,
Cause I'm a big shot.

So give me what I want,
I always get what I want.
You don't wanna see me when
I don't get what I want;
It's not what you want.

I'm not about to take no
For answer; NO, if I tell 
You I can't I'm still gonna go.
I did it all by myself and I found
I found my way around it 

Get me what I want,
Everything I don't got.
Give me what I want 
'Cause I'm a big shot.

So give me what I want,
I always get what I want
You don't wanna see me when
I don't get what
I want that's not what you want.

It's not too lovely,
It could start to get ugly,
It really bugs me, if
I don't get my way!

Get me what I want,
Everything I don't got.
So give me what I want, 
Cause I'm a big shot.

So give me what I want,
I always get what I want.
You don't wanna see me when
I don't get what I want;
It's not what you want.
