I never wanted that mansion on a hill. I never needed that Cadillac Seville. I only wanted you I only wanted you. I never wanted those diamonds on my hand I was happy with just a wedding band. I only wanted you I only wanted you. I just wanted to have your arms around me. I just needed to feel your love surround me. And now that we're apart, it breaks my heart in two. 'Cause you never really had a clue I only wanted you. Instead of always giving me something else I wish just once you'd given me yourself. I only wanted you, I only wanted you. I just wanted to have your arms around me. I just needed to feel your love surround me. And now that we're apart, it breaks my heart in two. That you never even had a clue, I only wanted you. I only wanted you. I only wanted you.
