"Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want" These lyrics are transcribed in light blue as they appear in the "Hatful Of Hollow" album and are reproduced here without permission. Variations between the printed lyrics and what is sung by Morrissey are indicated in darker text for additions and omissions are deleted.
Good times for a changeNote: Because this song is basically under 2 minutes long, when it was performed live in 1984, 1985, 2006 and 2007-2008 Morrissey repeated the last seven lines above to extend the song. He didn't do this for the harder electric arrangement of the song from 2002. 1 In all solo live performances of this song (bar perhaps once) Morrissey sang "let me have who I want" instead of "let me get what I want". 2 This line was changed on very few special occasions to "Lord knows it would be impossible" or something similar.
