Rita Coolidge - I Wanted It All Lyrics






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

    This is the first time I've heard this ! She did it before Patty Weaver who used to be a soap actress on Days of Our Lives and Young & the Restless. Anyway, Weaver's version is very nice as is this! Rita's version is BEAUTIFUL really!

    @cpth17 Before selling a few of my albums years ago, I transferred my favorite tracks to cassette. This was one of them! So unfortunately, I no longer have this album. But if I come across it, or the 45 again (and quite often I do), I will definitely post it and send it to you!
