What is it you want from me? There isn´t much I will not do. If it´s only company You know, I might need that too. Won´t you Come anytime - I´m a man of leisure, Come anytime, I await your pleasure. There´s nothing new beneath the sun We´ve butchered every sacred cow Don´t tell me about all the things you might have done Just tell me what are you doing now - right now. Come anytime, I won´t give you pressure Come anytime - I can wait forever And if you can´t make up your mind We could make it up together. Things like this happen every day Whatever happens, it´s O.K. Why be afraid when we´ve got it made - I´ll never ask you to explain. What is it you want from me? You won´t shock me easily. Maybe it´s your heart´s desire, Maybe it´s your wildest dream, Maybe I´m a gun-for-hire but, Baby, don´t we make quite a team, Don´t we? Don´t we? Come anytime (you´re so inclined) I won´t give you trouble Come anytime (you´re going blind) or you´re seeing double And I have never been the kind who´d want to Burst your bubble. Come anytime.
