I want you

The last time i saw her

Was the night she said goodbye

She said that love's a stranger

And it's sure to pass you by

As she packed up her belongings

Baby wouldn't look me in the eye

But i could see a tear roll

along her face

As we both tried so hard

Not to cry and she said

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 on my mind

yes it did

I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings

Baby all the things that my money brings

And the servants to paint the sky blue

And i worked so hard seven days a week

to build a fortress for your heart to keep

If i could i'd wrap these words up for you

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

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 words and the truth

All i got is my guitar ... but all i want

Baby all i want

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
