All I Ever Wanted Lyrics - Singles - Maccoll Kirsty

(Kirsty MacColl/Marshall Crenshaw) 

I'm nearly sober 

And I can see the truth 

I'm not immune to the sorrow that you put me through 

All I ever wanted 

Was a little more respect from you 

I used to love you 

But now I feel abused 

I was a fool to be blind to the things you do 

All I ever wanted 

Was a little more respect from you 

I'll never understand 

The habits of a man out on the town 

And where he hangs around 

Now you think it over 

Decide what to do 

I couldn't fall for your story if I wanted to 

All I ever wanted 

Was a little more respect from you 

I tried to make you see 

That you were losing me but every day 

You still went out to play 

And now I'll say for the last time 

You had the chance 

And I won't dance for you baby like you want me to 

All I ever wanted 

Was a little more respect from you 

All I ever wanted was a little more respect
