I Want You

I Want You

The last time I saw her

Was the night she said good-bye

She said that love's a stranger

And it's sure to pass you by (yes, she did)

As she packed up her belongings

Baby wouldn't look me in the eye

But I could see a tear roll off her face

As we both tried so hard

Not to cry she said

I never wanted the stars

Never shot for the moon

I like them right where they are

All I wanted was you

So baby just turn away

Cause I can't face the truth

All I'm trying to say is

All I wanted was you

I tried so hard to remember

Where when how why love went away

I tried to drown myself in pity

But your memory kept calling my name (yes, it did)

I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings

Baby all the things that money brings

And the servants to paint the skies blue

And I worked so hard seven days a week

Built a fortress for your heart to keep

If I could I'd wrap these words up for you

I never wanted the stars

Never shot for the moon

I like them right where they are

All I wanted was you

So baby just turn away

Cause I can't face the truth

All I'm trying to say is

All I wanted was you

I want you

I want you

Baby, I want you

But never thought you were alone

I filled the party up with company

But never made our house a home

All I got is my guitar these chords and the truth

All I got is my guitar ... but all I want, baby all I want

I never wanted the stars

Never shot for the moon

I like them right where they are

All I wanted was you

So baby just turn away

Cause I can't face the truth

All I'm trying to say is

All I wanted was you

I want you

I want you

Baby, I want you...
