Lyrics I Got What I Wanted - Brook Benton

When I go to all the places we used to go
When I see all the people we used to know
They ask me why I look so sad
I have to say I got what I wanted
But I've lost what I had

Without your love I'm such a lonely man
That's what I am
And there's no-one but myself to take the blame
Because I once had your love
And I treated you so bad
I got what I wanted
But I've lost what I had

Since you are gone the bright lights are dim
The people don't seem the same
They are so used to seeing us together
Oh, but how things have changed
I went searching not knowing what I would find
I looked for something
And I had it all the time
Now to think I treated you so bad makes me sad
I got what I wanted
But I've lost everything I had
