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
 The side I was on----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 halls,  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 lucky,  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
