All I Want

...ALL I WANT... by Joni Mitchell

*from 'Blue' (1971)*

(Original Key: D)

Verse 1:

I am on a lonely road and I am traveling.

Looking for something; what can it be?

Oh, I hate you some, I hate you some, I love you some.

Oh, I love you, when I for-get about me.

Bridge 1:

I want to be strong, I want to laugh a-long,

I want to be-long to the living.

By the light, I want to get up and jive,

I want to wreck my stockings in some jukebox dive.

Chorus 1:

Do you want, do you want,

Do you want to dance with me baby?

Do you want to take a chance, on maybe finding some,

Sweet romance with me baby? Now come on.

Verse 2:

All I really, really want our love to do,

Is to bring out the best in me, and in you too.

All I really, really want our love to do,

Is to bring out the best in me, and in you too.

Bridge 2:

I want to talk to you, want to shine through you,

I want to re-new you, again and a-gain.

Cause ap-plause; life is our cause,

When I think of your kisses, my mind see-saws.

Chorus 2:

Do you see, do you see,

Do you see how you hurt me baby?

So I hurt you too, then we both get;

So blue.

Verse 3:

I am on a lonely road and I am traveling, traveling, traveling,

Looking for the key to set me free.

Oh, the jealousy, the greed is the un-raveling, it's the unraveling,

And it undoes all the joy that could be.

Bridge 3:

I want to have fun, I want to shine like the sun,

I want to be the one you want to see.

I want to knit you a sweater, I want to write you a love letter,

I want to make you feel better, make you feel...free.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, want to make you feel free.
