1) Lio is a Belgian singer and actress, born as Wanda Ribeiro de Vasconcelos in 1962 in Mangualde, Portugal. In 1968, she and her family moved to Belgium. She was an pop icon in francophone Europe during the 1980's. In 1982 the American music duo Sparks worked with her on the album Suite Sixteen, on which some of her previous songs were translated into English. She has an extensive discography and has collaborated with several important French music artists, including Etienne Daho and Jacno. Many of Lio's singles were successful, but her biggest hit was probably 1980's Banana Split. This track was redone on the Suite Sixteen album as Marie Antoinette. She first appeared on the screen in 1983 in Chantal Akerman's film The Eighties. Ackerman recast her in the 1986 film Golden Eighties, a lighthearted, humorous French pop musical about the people who work together in a Parisian shopping center.

J'obtiens toujours ce que je veux
Lio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
me passer
un diamant à chaque doigt c’est
pas assez
tu peux me faire tous mes caprices
tous mes vices
en admettant même que tu puisses
j’obtiens toujours tout ce que je veux oui
mais l’ennui
c’est qu’une fois que je l’ai obtenu
j’en veux plus
tu sais je suis plutôt flattée
par tous tes
efforts je serais même tentée
de céder
mais ce ne serait pas très honnête
une fillette
comme moi n’a pas les idées nettes
je regrette
mes dessins d’enfant expédiés
au panier
mon teddy bear au grenier
eborgné
mes illusions se sont cassées
remplacées
par ce jeu qui risque assez
de me lasser
In Lio's song J'obtiens toujours ce que je veux, the singer is expressing her power and control over a lover who is willing to give her anything she desires, including diamonds on every finger. She knows that she can have everything she wants, but the problem is that once she has obtained it, she always wants more. She acknowledges that her lover is making every effort to please her, but ultimately she admits that she is not very honest about her intentions and that she is not sure of herself.
The lyrics describe a conflict within the singer, who is torn between her desire for power and her fear of losing herself. She knows that she can always get what she wants, but she is also fully aware that her unquenchable thirst for more is unsustainable, and that she risk getting bored of the game she is playing. She recalls her childhood toys being disposed of, and her illusions being shattered, suggesting she is aware of the fleeting nature of material possessions.
The song is an ironic take on the idea of personal agency and the notion that people can control their own destiny. It questions whether having everything you want is really worth it, or if the pursuit of an endless stream of desires can ultimately make you lose sight of what is truly important.
