Lyrics

All I Want

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'm on a lonely road and I'm traveling,

traveling, traveling, traveling,

looking for something, what can it be

Oh I hate you some, I hate you some, I love you some,

Oh I love you, when I forget about me,

I wanna be strong, I wanna to laugh along,

I wanna belong to the living,

alive, alive, I wanna get up and jive

I want to wreck my stockings in some juke box dive

Do you want? Do you want?

Do you want to dance with me, baby?

Do you want to take a chance

on maybe finding some sweet romance with me baby?

Well, come on.

All I really, really want our love to do

is to bring out the best in me and in you too

All I really, really want our love to do

is to bring out the best in me and in you

I want to talk to you,

I want to shampoo you,

I want to renew you again and again,

Applause, Applause, life is our cause

When I think of your kisses,

my mind see-saws,

do you see, do you see, do you see, how you hurt me, baby

so I hurt you too, and we both get so blue

I am on a lonely road and I am traveling

looking for the key to set me free

oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling, it's the unraveling

and it undoes all the joy that could be

I want to have fun,

I want to shine like the sun

I want to be the one that you want to see

I want to knit you a sweater,

I want to write you a love letter,

I want to make you feel better,

I want to make you feel free

oh oh oh, I want to make you feel free,

I want to make you feel free
