All I Ever Wanted
From "Heartland", 1980, emi-America Records Group
Here I am, last of the romantics
Everytime, I get caught in the sway
I'm just a fool, for a love song
But I wouldn't have it any other way
The white boys and the
Black girls sang
The heartbreak kids
Kept dreaming
Through the thick flat light
Of a midwest night
The Detroit station
Came screaming...
(Chorus:)
And all I ever wanted--all you got to do
Is, Baby, just don't say goodnight
Till the man gets around
To our song
Turn up the radio--till this
One's through
I got what I wanted--all I ever
Wanted was you...
Take your time--Make your mind up
Don't say yes if you really don't know
'Cause I can hold on just a little longer
And the night is still young, so let's go...
You hold it all
In your hands tonight
With your sweet
Surrender sighs
French kisses
'neath the streetlight--
You never win if
You never try...
[Chorus:]
(Bridge:)
Tell me, baby, what you want me to do
Tell me what you want me to be
You can make my dreams come true
If you only say to me...
[Chorus:]
I got what I wanted--all I ever wanted was you
I got what I wanted--all I ever wanted was you
I got what I wanted--all I ever wanted was you...
