I Wanted It All Lyrics - Singles - Rita Coolidge

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 

? 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
