I Don't Want It All

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I been keeping it to myself

I been thinking about it all day long

I got nobody I can blame

They say what goes around surely comes around

I wouldn't dream of trying to complicate your life

You don't need to change anything you do

Because

I don't want it all

I just need some time

A piece of love that I can hold on to

I don't want it all

I just need to feel

Something good is happening in my life

I read my paper and get depressed

No point in hanging around waiting for a call

I don't expect you to read my mind

This time I'm going to tell you exactly how I feel

I need the thought of stealing a moment with you

So I can just keep holding on

Because

I don't want it all

I just need some time

A piece of love that I can hold on to

I don't want it all

I just need to feel

Something good is happening in my life

Do you think you want to be free this time

I'll do anything to make you mine

I'll do anything

I don't want it all

I just need some time

A piece of love that I can hold on to

I don't want it all

I just need to feel

Something good is happening in my life

I don't want it all

I just need some time

A piece of love that I can hold on to

I don't want it all

I just need to feel

Something good is happening in my life

I been keeping it to myself

Thinking about it all day long

I just need some time

I don't want it all

I just need to feel something good

I just need some time

I just need some time

A piece of love that I can hold on to

I don't want it all

I just need to feel

Something good is happening in my life

I don't want it all

I just need some time

A piece of love that I can hold on to

I don't want it all

I just need to feel

Something good is happening in my life

I don't want it all

I just need some time

A piece of love that I can hold on to
