The last time that 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 Off her face As we both tried so hard Not to cry she said
I never wanted the stars 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 calling my name
I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings, baby All the things that my money brings And the servants to paint the skies blue And I worked so hard seven days a week Built a fortress for your heart to keep If I could I'd wrap these words up for you
I never wanted the stars Never shot for the moon I like them right where they are All I wanted was you So baby just turn away Cause I can't face the truth All I'm trying to say Is all I wanted was you
I want you I want you, baby
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 chords, and the truth All I got is my guitar ... but all I want, baby all I want
I never wanted the stars Never shot for the moon I like them right where they are All I wanted was you So baby just turn away Cause I can't face the truth All I'm trying to say Is all I wanted was you
I want you I want you, baby I want you I want you I want you, baby I want you
