Want More Lyrics

[Chorus]
Now you get what you want
Do you want more? (want more)
Now you get what you want
Do you want more? (want more)

[Verse 1]
You think it's the end
But it's just the beginning
You think it's the end
But it's just the beginning
Go down back-biter, down back-bite, down back-biter, down back-bite
Go down back-biter, down back-biter, down back-biter, down back-bite

[Verse]
They stab you in the back
And they claim that you are not looking
But Jah have them in the region
In the valley of decision
They stab you in the back (stab you in the back)
And they claim that you are not looking
But Jah have them in the region
In the valley of decision
In the valley of decision

[Bridge]
Go down back-biter, (down back-bite)
Go down back-biter, (down back-bite)
[Chorus]
Now you get what you want
Do you want more? (want more)
Now you get what you want
Do you want more? (want more)
And now you get what you want
Do you want more? (want more)
You think it's the end (you think it's the end)
Do you want more? (want more)

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
Go down back-biter, down back-bite, down back-biter, down back-bite
Down back-biter, down back-bite, down back-biter, down back-bite

[Verse]
They stab you in the back (stab you in the back)
And they claim that you're not looking (they claim that you're not looking)
Jah have them in the region (have the region)
In the valley of decision (in the valley of decision)

[Chorus]
Now: what you want
Want more? Want more
Now: what you get
Want more? Want more
Now - Now: do you want more
You think it's the end? (think it's the end)
Do you want more? (want more) (you think it's the end)
[Instrumental break]

[Outro]
Now, what you want
Want more? Want more

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The evil who have taken all of the beauty in Jamaica and turned it into a warzone, have gotten all they want yet they want more. Bob casts down the back biter, and knows Jah has them in the valley of decision. They shall feel his judgement when the day comes.
