I Want More Lyrics - Linda Eder

Day in and out what my life's all about 

Are the things that you find far to boring 

Washing and cooking and staying good-looking 

While you get to do the ignoring 

Will it ever be my turn to say where we're going? 

Will it ever be my life that we're planning for? 

I've been living this way far so long without growing 

I want more 

I need attention not mere condescension 

But you just don't get the distinction 

Pushing and shoving does not equal loving 

Which seems on the brink of extinction 

What became of the prince who was oh, so disarming? 

What became of the sweet man at my beck-and-call? 

Could it be that Prince Charming turned out not so charming 

After all 

After all 

I want magic carpets, I want true romance 

I want moonlight cruises to the South of France 

And I want kisses that go on for days 

I want more than this is in so many ways 

I want more ful-filling 

I want equal billing 

I want champagne chilling at the door 

So, in short, I'm saying if you want me 

I want more 

When did the me that I so long to be 

Lose her natural sense of direction 

When did the you that I'm turning into 

Get a trifle too tense for affection 

Can we ever get over this thing about winning? 

Can we ever recapture a moment that's past? 

If we simply begin with a brand new beginning 

Will it last? 

Will it last? 

I want Shakespeare sonnets, I want oohs and aahs 

I want long stem roses in a Gucci vase 

And I want kisses that go on for days 

I want more than this is in so many ways 

I want more relating 

I want less debating 

I want all that I've been waiting for 

So, in case you're listening, if you want me 

I want more 

I want to fly throught that
