I Wanted It All Songtext
von Rita Coolidge

I wanted it all right from the beginning
The more that I saw of what could be mine
So young and so faithful, too hungry and blind
Sure took a fall
I wanted it all

Side I was on was where I could get it
Went to the streets where it′s easy to use
Taking my brother, getting down on the blues
Sleeping in halls
I wanted it all

Fires keep burnin' just to become ashes
You change your mind as fast as lightnin′ flashes


I wanted it all up to the last minute
I took you for real, then you took me apart
Two gamblers felt lucky, one had the cards
After the ball
I wanted it all

You're tellin' me all what you believe in
Searchin′ for someone who has nothin′ to give
You say I'm empty-handed and I don′t know how to live
I don't believe you at all
I wanted it all
You never knew me at all
I wanted it all

I wanted it all
