Rita Coolidge - I Wanted It All Lyrics

Lyrics I Wanted It All - Rita Coolidge

I wanted it all right from the beginning

The more that I saw of what could be mine

So young and so faithful, too hungry and blind

Sure took a fall

I wanted it all

Side I was on was where I could get it

Went to the streets where it's easy to use

Taking my brother, getting down on the blues

Sleeping in halls

I wanted it all

Fires keep burnin' just to become ashes

You change your mind as fast as lightnin' flashes

I wanted it all up to the last minute

I took you for real, then you took me apart

Two gamblers felt lucky, one had the cards

After the ball

I wanted it all

You're tellin' me all what you believe in

Searchin' for someone who has nothin' to give

You say I'm empty-handed and I don't know how to live

I don't believe you at all

I wanted it all

You never knew me at all

I wanted it all
