All I Ever Wanted
--words and music by Michael Stanley

from "Heartland", 1980, EMI Records Group



Here I am, last of the romantics
Everytime I get caught in the sway
I'm just a fool for a love song
But I wouldn't have it any other way

The white boys and the black girls sang
The heartbreak kids kept dreaming
Through the thick flat light of a midwest night
The Detroit station came screaming...

	And all I ever wanted, all you got to do
	is, baby, just don't say goodnight
	till the man gets around to our song
	Turn up the radio till this
	one's through
	I got what I wanted, all I ever
	wanted was you...

Take your time, make your mind up
Don't say yes if you really don't know
'Cause I can hold on just a little longer
And the night is still young, so let's go...

You hold it all in your hands tonight
with your sweet surrender sighs
French kisses 'neath the streetlight
You never win if you never try...

	And all I ever wanted, all you got to do
	is, baby, just don't say goodnight
	till the man gets around to our song
	Turn up the radio till this
	one's through
	I got what I wanted, all I ever
	wanted was you...

Ooh, tell me, baby, what you want me to do
Tell me what you want me to be
You can make my dreams come true
if you only say to me...     

	And all I ever wanted, all you got to do
	is, baby, just don't say goodnight
	till the man gets around to our song
	Turn up the radio till this
	one's through
	I got what I wanted, all I ever
	wanted was you...

I got what I wanted, all I ever wanted was you...
I got what I wanted, all I ever wanted was you...
