All I'm After lyrics

All I'm after is to be on your winning side

All I need is to be turning back the tide

'Cause I care too much for the life that I lead

What you're thinking could be anybody's guess

All I'm after is the sun and the summer nights

By the seashore, don't want no more neon lights

Just the sand and the sky as the hours roll by

Ain't it funny, how the world seems to be back there in my dreams

All I see is my reflection in your wild and winsome ways

Ain't it funny, life feels different every day

All I'm after is to be the flame in your tattoo

Be the one girl who can thrill me through and through

This is just a guess but I must confess

It feels better being certain

Please excuse my truthfulness

What I'm seeing's worth believing

When you thrill me like you do

So you wonder why my feelings never fade

I think I got it made

In the evening when the rain begins to fall

That's when I wonder if you think of me at all

But you sound so sad, in your own special way

Ain't it funny, life feels different with each new passing day

All I need is my reflection in your wild and windswept ways

Ain't it funny how life changes every day
