I Got What I Wanted Lyrics - Brook Benton

When I go to all the places we used to go 

When I see all the people we used to know 

They ask me why I look so sad, I have to say 

I got what I wanted but I lost what I had 

Without your love I'm such a lonely man, that's what I am 

And there's no one but myself to take the blame 

Because I once had your love and I treated you so bad 

I got what I wanted but I lost what I had 

Since you've gone, the bright lights are dim 

The people don't seem the same 

They're so used to seeing us together 

Oh, but my, how things have changed

I went searching, not knowing what I'd find 

I looked for something and I had it all the time 

Now to think I've treated you so bad, makes me sad 

I got what I wanted but I lost [Incomprehensible] I had 

I got what I wanted but I lost what I had
