If You Want Me - Lyrics, from the movie 'Once'

If You Want Me, Lyrics by Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova
Featured in the motion picture Once

---

Are you really here or am I dreaming
I can't tell dreams from truth 
for it's been so long since I have seen you
I can hardly remember your face anymore 

When I get really lonely
and the distance causes our silence
I think of you smiling 
with pride in your eyes a lover that sighs

If you want me satisfy me, if you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me, if you want me satisfy me

Are you really sure that you’d believe me
when others say I lie
I wonder if you could ever despise me
when you know I really try
to be a better one to satisfy you
For your everything to me
and I’ll do what you ask me
if you’ll let me be, free

If you want me satisfy me, if you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me, if you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me, if you want me satisfy me

I begin to listen this song, 3 days ago, still i'm listening...

[FaNny]

I love this film and all the song in the movie..
Musician in this world (like pop and hip hop) should litsen to this kind of music, to understand what music is about.. it's about passion, about passion for music and lyrics and sound.
not money...

lot of love from sweden

[Niadra]

it's a really beautiful song, and the movie was very Different. in the good way. :D
i think you need to spell/grammar check those lyrics though.

[Behzad]

I tried to listen to the lyric carefully.
in my opinion that part it sings "if you want me, then satisfy me". Because the word 'satisfy' when a 'sat' is speken hard, the later voice should be like 'dee'.
I really like this movie, just watched it last night. Good film, good song.

[tallguyca]

Sure! but have you listened to it backwards?

[Allysa]

My cousins played gutar for if you want me and he produced some of the music and he plays with The Frames he's lead gutar and i can tell you right now they won't be touring for 6 months! Just thought i'd let you know i love the music!

[Micah]

I really loved this song when i saw the movie.. gave me a certain VIBE.

[Lizzaurie]

Immediately after watching this movie, I was so haunted by the song, I ran right to Itunes and dl'd it...can't get it out of my head....and, yes, I agree, that it should be "You're everything to me."

[Gemmy]

I walk around all day with this song in my head...

[hannah]

yes..I think
" for you`re everything to me..." is correct.

[kelsey]

Yes, but who cares. i hope you weren't trying to seem real smart with that comment.

[ors..]

verry brillianta production and songs...

[elizabeth lauk]

I love that song...If you want me...satisfy me!

Beautifull!!!

[kate]

No...it's Satisfy me not sadness found me. I saw an interview with them and Glen was talking about how much he loved the context of this song being about lovers...if you want me, then satisfy me!

[Heather]

i think the lyrics are actually, "if you want me, saddness found me"

[kate]

You wouldn't by any chance happen to know the chords for this song would you? : D

[CJ]

shouldn't it be "for YOU'RE everything to me"?
