Michael Stanley — All I Ever Wanted lyrics

Lyrics

Volume 2:1977 to 1980
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…
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…
(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…
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…
