==Overview==
==Overview==
"Tell Me What I Want" was originally demoed in consideration for what would eventually become ''[[Make Believe]]''. It was included on the [[The 4 and 5 Star Demos of Rivers Cuomo]] under [[2003]] and the Alone collection included an edit in [[2008]].
"Tell Me What I Want" was originally demoed in [[2002]]. Cuomo later revisited the original demo in [[2008]]. The original demo and the 2008 edit were released in [[2020]] as part of the digital demo compilations ''[[Alone VIII: The Maladroit Years]]'' and ''[[Alone IX: The Make Believe Years]]'', respectively (although the filename for the latter indicates it was edited in [[2008]], suggesting its inclusion on ''Alone IX'' is an error).

I can't recall that anymore
I can't recall that anymore
What was it like to be a new baby?
What was it like to be a new baby?
Once I have a taste of any fruits
I can never change the things I do
Choices leave their marks along my skin
Look at me now, I'm wearing thin
So much it takes to feel again
Can I regain my innocent touch?
Tell me what I want now
Tell me what I need now
Tell me what I want this time


Once I have a taste of any fruits
