Wanted
Tina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You got what you wanted
Now you dont want what you got
Once I was a thrill to you, 'till suddenly I'm not
Was it my mistake
To give you everything I got?
You got what you wanted
Now you dont want what you got
(You got it, now you don't want me)

You (you) used to whisper in my ear, "baby, it's you"
Now you're laughing in my face
Say it with me

You got what you wanted
Now you don't want what you got
I wish I could do something
Lord knows, I don't know what
I guess you thought I'd be something I'm not
You got what you wanted
Now you don't want what you got (you don't want me)

I wish I still had what you wanted
I wish I could take back what you got
I said I gave you everything that you wanted
How come you don't want what you got?




I wish you still had what you wanted
I wish I could take back what you got

Overall Meaning

The song "Wanted" by Tina is a heart-wrenching reflection on the end of a relationship. The lyrics explore a common pattern in relationships where one person relentlessly pursues the other until they finally win their affection, only to lose interest soon after. The opening lines, "You got what you wanted, now you don't want what you got" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is expressing her confusion and heartache over her partner's sudden disinterest in her, after she has given them everything.


The singer wonders if she made a mistake by giving her partner everything she had. She questions if this is the reason why he is suddenly not interested in her anymore. The chorus of the song repeats the line "You got what you wanted, now you don't want what you got," emphasizing the singer's inner turmoil and confusion.


The middle section of the song takes on a more nostalgic tone. The singer remembers how her partner used to whisper sweet nothings in her ear and assure her that she was all he wanted. Now, he looks down on her and laughs in her face. The song ends on a bitter note as the singer expresses her regret at giving everything she had to someone who did not appreciate it.


Overall, "Wanted" is a poignant reflection on relationships that have gone sour. It highlights the emotional fallout that often happens when one person is more invested in a relationship than the other. It is a powerful reminder that love can be fleeting, and that it is important to cherish those moments when we feel wanted and appreciated.
