All I Ever Wanted Lyrics

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...


(CHORUS:)
 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...


(CHORUS)

(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...     

(CHORUS)


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...
