I Wanted It All

I wanted it all right from the beginnin'
The more that I saw of what could be mine
So young, so faithful, too hungry and blind
Sure took a fall
I wanted it all

The side I was on was where I could get it
Into the streets where it's easy to use
Takin' my brothers, gettin' down on the blues
Sleepin' in halls
I wanted it all

Fires keep burnin' just to become ashes
You'll 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

Now you're tellin' me just what you believe in
You're rearchin' for someone who's got nothin' to give
You say I'm empty-handed and I don't know how to live
Don't believe you at all
I wanted it all
Don't believe you at all
I wanted it all
