The last time that I saw her
Was the night she said goodbye
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
Chorus:
I never wanted the stars,
I never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are, all I wanted was you
So baby just turn away, because 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 your name, yes it did
I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings
All the things that my 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
chorus
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
chorus
I want you, I want you, baby, I want you.
I want you, I want you, baby, I want you.
I want you, I want you, baby, I want you.
I want you, I want you, baby, I want you.
