I have done an Ear Candy post in a very very long time, but this one is very appropos of today. And it isn’t very nostalgia-y, being relatively new…but…umm…yeah.
[video: Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me", he is having a very emotional looking fight with another "him" dressed in a suit who appears to get frustrated with the first him, in a very Spartan apartment. Interspersed with scenes of Lambert and a band performing and scenes of him in a fancy car leaving shows. The scenes are very intense as one Lambert even packs and looks ready to leave, and the other seems to be upset and possibly grieving his leaving. The camera angle at the end, and Lambert's smile indicates that possibly the other one has come back to maybe try to "work it out". Or, that is how I am/have usually read it.]

Lyrics:
Hey, slow it down
What do you want from me
What do you want from me
Yeah, I’m afraid
What do you want from me
What do you from me
There might have been a time
I would give myself away
(Ooh) Once upon a time
I didn’t give a damn
But now here we are
So what do you want from me
What do you want from me
Just don’t give up
I’m workin’ it out
Please don’t give in
I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, what do you want from me
What do you want from me
Yeah, it’s plain to see
that baby you’re beautiful
And it’s nothing wrong with you
It’s me – I’m a freak
but thanks for lovin’ me
Cause you’re doing it perfectly
There might have been a time
When I would let you step away
I wouldn’t even try but I think
you could save my life
Just don’t give up
I’m workin’ it out
Please don’t give in
I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, what do you want from me
What do you want from me
Just don’t give up on me
I won’t let you down
No, I won’t let you down
So
Just don’t give up
I’m workin’ it out
Please don’t give in
I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, what do you want from me
Just don’t give up
I’m workin’ it out
Please don’t give in
I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, whataya want from me
(whataya want from me)
Whataya want from me
whataya want from me
