Bitter:Sweet: Get What I Want

Hold the door, while I let myself in
I'm tired boy, need a drink, need a man
I'm not looking for trouble, I just want someone to tease

Maybe if you're lucky, I'll show you what I've got
But let's get one thing straight dear
I get what I want

Here there boy, I am not like the rest
Let's have a dance, while our souls get undressed
I don't care much for small talk, there's no need to say a thing more
I can make you feel something lovely, that you've never felt before

Maybe if you're lucky, I'll show you what you've got
But let's get one thing straight dear
I get what I want

Darling don't step on my toes
Behave, I'm in control

I'm not the girl who will chase you
I don't need a Pepe Le Peu
But if it's a good time you're after, then there's plenty of things we can do

Maybe if you're lucky, I'll show you what I've got
But let's get one thing straight dear
I get what I want
I get what I want
I get what I want

Personal Notes
I have an amusing story about how I "discovered" this song. I have been rewatching various episodes of the television series Castle and have discovered a plethora (like that one?) of funny moments, romantic scenes and snippets of music I had not appreciated before. Geeze, I have become totally captivated by this show. Am I now (officially) a Castle junkie?

In season 1 episode 9 called "Little Girl Lost", an old flame of Beckett's shows up and stirs the pot with Castle and Beckett. The clip (you're a mysterious woman - castle 1x09) shows the very end of the episode when Beckett announces she has a date but does not give any details. When Castle is intrigued by her reticence, she replies, "Maybe there's more of Nikki Heat in me than you think." This song by Bitter:Sweet is the fade out and perfectly captures the feeling of the moment.
