from "Heartland", 1980, EMI-America Records Group



Here I am, last of the romantics

Everytime, I get caught in the sway

I'm just a fool, for a love song

But I wouldn't have it any other way



The white boys and the

black girls sang

The heartbreak kids

kept dreaming

Through the thick flat light

of a midwest night

The Detroit station

came screaming...





(CHORUS:)

And all I ever wanted--all you got to do

is, Baby, just don't say goodnight

till the man gets around

to our song

Turn up the radio--till this

one's through

I got what I wanted--all I ever

wanted was you...







Take your time--Make your mind up

Don't say yes if you really don't know

'Cause I can hold on just a little longer

And the night is still young, so let's go...



You hold it all

in your hands tonight

with your sweet

surrender sighs

French kisses

'neath the streetlight--

You never win if

you never try...





(CHORUS)



(BRIDGE:)



Tell me, baby, what you want me to do

Tell me what you want me to be

You can make my dreams come true

if you only say to me...



(CHORUS)





I got what I wanted--all I ever wanted was you

I got what I wanted--all I ever wanted was you

I got what I wanted--all I ever wanted was you...
