I Want You lyrics

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

She 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

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 the whiskey kept calling your name

I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings

All the things that money brings

And the servants to paint the sky blue

And I worked so hard seven days a week

And built 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

I may have built for you a dreamhouse

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 is you
