I Want You
The last time I saw herWas the night she said goodbyeShe said that love's a strangerAnd it's sure to pass you byAs she packed up her belongingsShe wouldn't look me in the eyeBut I could see a tear rollOff her faceAs we both tried so hardNot to cry she said
I never wanted the starsI never shot for the moonI like them right where they areAll I wanted was youSo baby just turn awayBecause I can't face the truthAll I'm trying to sayIs all I wanted was you
I tried so hard to rememberWhere when how why love went awayI tried to drown myself in pityBut the whiskey kept calling your name
I bought you fancy cars and diamond ringsAll the things that money bringsAnd the servants to paint the sky blueAnd I worked so hard seven days a weekAnd built a fortress for your heart to keepIf I could I'd wrap these words up for you
I never wanted the starsI never shot for the moonI like them right where they areAll I wanted was youSo baby just turn awayBecause I can't face the truthAll I'm trying to sayIs all I wanted was you
I may have built for you a dreamhouseBut never thought you were aloneI filled the party up with companyBut never made our house a homeAll I got is my guitar these chords and the truthAll I got is my guitar ... but all I want is you
