I Want You Songtext
von Bon Jovi

The last time that I saw her was the night she said goodbye
She said that love′s a stranger, and it's sure to pass you by, yes she did
As she packed up her belongings, baby, wouldn′t look me in the eye
But I could see a tear roll off her face as we both tried so hard not to cry
She said

I never wanted the stars, never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you, so baby just turn away
'Cause I can't face the truth
All I′m trying to say, is all I wanted was you

I tried so hard to remember, where, when, how, why love went away
I tried to drown myself in pity, but your memory kept calling my name, yes it did
I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings, baby, all the things that money brings

And the servants to paint the skies blue
And I worked so hard seven days a week
Built a fortress for your heart to keep
If I could, I′d wrap these words up for you, yeah


I never wanted the stars, never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you, so baby just turn away
'Cause I can′t face the truth
All I'm trying to say, is all I wanted was you
I want you, I want you
Baby, I want you

But never thought you were alone
I filled the party up with company
But never made our house a home

All, I′ve got is my guitar
These chords and the truth
All I've got is my guitar
But all I want, baby all I want

I never wanted the stars, never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you, so baby just turn away
′Cause I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say, is all I wanted was you
I want you, I want you
Baby, I want you

I never wanted the stars (I want you)
I never shot for the moon (I want you)
I like them right where they are (baby, I want you)


So baby just turn away (I want you)
′Cause I can′t face the truth (I want you)
All I wanted to say (baby I want you)

I never wanted the stars (I want you)
I never shot for the moon (I want you)
I like them right where they are (baby, I want you)

So baby just turn away (I want you)
