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



[Incomprehensible] was where I could get it

Into the streets where it's easy to use

Taking my brother, getting down on the blues

Sleeping in homes, I wanted it all



Fires keep burning just to become ashes

You change your mind as fast as lightning flashes



I wanted it all up to the last minute

I took you for real and you took me apart

Two gamblers felt perky, one had the cards

After the ball, I wanted it all



You're telling me all what you believe in

Searching for someone there's nothing 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

I wanted it all
