Artist/Band: Rita Coolidge
Lyrics for Song: I Wanted It All
Lyrics for Album: Delta Lady: The Anthology [2004]



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



[Incomprehensible] 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
