I Wanted It All
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
The side I was on was where I could get it
Into the streets where it's easy to use
Takin' my brother, gettin' down on the blues
Sleepin' 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 but one had the cards
After the ball
I wanted it all
Now, you're tellin' me what you believe in
Reachin' for someone who has got 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
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
The side I was on was where I could get it
Into the streets where it's easy to use
Takin' my brother, gettin' down on the blues
Sleepin' 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 but one had the cards
After the ball
I wanted it all
Now, you're tellin' me what you believe in
Reachin' for someone who has got 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
