I Got What I Wanted Songtext
von Brook Benton

When I go to all the places we used to go
When I see all the people we used to know
They ask me why I look so sad
I have to say


I got what I wanted but I lost what I had
Without your love I′m such a lonely man
That's what I am
And there′s no one but myself to take the blame
Because I once had your love and I treated you so bad
I got what I wanted but I lost what I had

Since you're gone the bright lights are dim
The people don't seem the same
They′re so used to seeing us together
Oh but my how things have changed
I went searching not knowing what I′d find
I looked for something and I had it all the time
Now to think I treated you so bad makes me sad

I got what I wanted but I lost everything I had

I got what I wanted but I lost what I had
