"All I Wanted Was You" lyrics

"All I Wanted Was You"

I said, "Just go, I don't need you, girl
Hangin' round my door
I'm gonna start to live how I please"
As free as a bird in flight
No-one's clipping my wings tonight
No more regrets to start thinking of
Loving anyone I want to love

But when loving someone new
I'm always thinking just of you
Even though I tried a few
Here I am still wanting you, yeah

(I thought I had what I wanted)
(Thought I had what I wanted)
All I wanted was you, yeah
All I wanted was you, yeah, yeah

Look at me now, I'm out the back
With the human race
Freedom is mine at any cost
But I thought all the roads were just U-turns
Forget what I've said, I've now returned
Won't let your love slip through my hands
Baby, I survived plus with you I can

But when loving someone new
I'm always thinking just of you
Even though I tried a few
Here I am still wanting you, yeah

(I thought I had what I wanted)
(Thought I had what I wanted)
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you, yeah, yeah

I said, "Just go, I don't need you, girl
I'm gonna start to live just how I please"
It wasn't so, 'cause I found all the words were just U-turns
Forget what I've said, I've now returned
I won't let your love slip through my hands
Baby I've survived, plus with you I can

But when loving someone new
I'm always thinking just of you
And even though I tried a few
Here I am still wanting you

(I thought I had what I wanted)
(Thought I had what I wanted)
All I wanted was you
That's all I want, that's all I want, baby

All I wanted was you
That's all I want, that's all I want, baby
That's all I want, baby
That's all I want, that's all I want, baby
That's all I want, that's all I want, baby
All I want is you
