Grease Wiki

I Want More is a song performed by Jane Facciano in the Paramount+ original series, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies.

Overview[]

Jane learned that she would receive detention every day of the semester and a mark on her permanent record, which could affect her dream of getting into Stanford. She wanted to be the first in her family to attend college, and worried this would affect her dream. She sang about her desire to want more than what she was allowed to want or have, and her frustration with where that desire got her so far. She also knew of the trouble her dream and aspirations would get her into in the future.[1]

Lyrics[]

Oh, there I'm going again
Pushing past the unforgivable edge
Always one step out of bounds
Can't get the taste out my mouth
Dealing with the aftertaste
Going too far is a permanent phase
Wish I could try to suppress
Convince myself that I want less than I deserve
But I get hurt when I admit

I want more
More than I probably should
More than I probably ever, ever could have
I want more
But trouble that comes after I push
I push myself past every point
I know I shouldn't have
I want more

Good girls should never desire
When they do, they end up tripping the wires
I never have a defense
'Cause I always want more than less
Than I deserve
So I get heard when I admit

I want more
More than I probably should
More than I probably ever, ever could have
I want more
But trouble comes after I push
I push myself past every point
I know I shouldn't have
I want more

Dreams keep on rushing
'Cause more leads to nothing
More gets punishment
I want everything, everything, everything, everything
But I know
That leads to disappointment
Should I act like I don't
Want more

More than I probably should
More than I probably ever, ever could have
I want more
But trouble that comes after I push
I push myself past every point
I know I shouldn't have
I want more
