Michael Stanley – All I Ever Wanted lyrics

From "Heartland", 1980, emi-America Records Group

Here I am, last of the romantics
Everytime, I get caught in the sway
I'm just a fool, for a love song
But I wouldn't have it any other way

The white boys and the
black girls sang
The heartbreak kids
kept dreaming
Through the thick flat light
of a midwest night
The Detroit station
came screaming...

(Chorus:)
And all I ever wanted--all you got to do
is, Baby, just don't say goodnight
till the man gets around
to our song
Turn up the radio--till this
one's through
I got what I wanted--all I ever
wanted was you...

Take your time--Make your mind up
Don't say yes if you really don't know
'Cause I can hold on just a little longer
And the night is still young, so let's go...

You hold it all
in your hands tonight
with your sweet
Surrender sighs
French kisses
'neath the streetlight--
You never win if
you never try...

[Chorus:]

(Bridge:)

Tell me, baby, what you want me to do
Tell me what you want me to be
You can make my dreams come true
if you only say to me...

[Chorus:]

I got what I wanted--all I ever wanted was you
I got what I wanted--all I ever wanted was you
I got what I wanted--all I ever wanted was you...
