All I Ever Wanted
Lars Fredriksen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Honey, I can read your mind like an open book
Through our love, the pages turn, take another look
(Baby, can't you see?) There's gotta be more to us than meets the eye
(I'll tell you why) Whenever you're near me, I'm in paradise

‘Cause all I ever wanted was you
‘Cause you came and you saw and you won my love
All I ever wanted was you
And I don't give a damn about anyone
Every little thing that you do

I took my chances 'cause I knew you'd found
Our love was worth the wait
Ooh… (All I wanted was you)

If only I could find the words to say it all
Compare it to a summer's day, as I recall
(Filled with fallen leaves) Stronger as the years go by
(I'll tell you why) Whenever you're near me, I'm in paradise

‘Cause all I ever wanted was you
‘Cause you came and you saw and you won my love
All I ever wanted was you (All I ever wanted)
And I don't give a damn about anyone
Every little thing that you do

I took my chances 'cause I knew you'd found
Our love was worth the wait
Ooh… all I wanted was you

‘Cause you're my guiding light, so lead me through the night
Lead me to forever, because all I ever wanted was

(All I ever wanted was you)
‘Cause you came and you saw and you won my love
All I ever wanted was you (All I ever wanted)
And I don't give a damn about anyone
Every little thing that you do

I took my chances 'cause I knew you'd found
Our love was worth the wait




Ooh… all I wanted was…
(Ooh…) All I wanted was you
