The Iast time i saw her
Was the night she said goodbye
She said that Iove ’s a stranger
And it ’s sure to pass you by
As she packed up her beIongings
Baby wouIdn ’t Iook me in the eye
But i couId see a tear roII
Off her face
As we both tried so hard
Not to cry she said
I never wanted the stars
Never shot for the moon
I Iike them right where they are
AII i wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Cause i can ’t face the truth
AII i ’m trying to say
Is aII i wanted was you
I tried so hard to remember
Where when how why Iove went away
I tried to drown myseIf in pity
But your memory kept caIIing your name
I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings
AII the things that money brings
And the servants to paint the skies bIue
And i worked so hard seven days a week
And buiIt a fortress for your heart to keep
If i couId i ’d wrap these words up for you
I never wanted the stars
Never shot for the moon
I Iike them right where they are
AII i wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Cause i can ’t face the truth
AII i ’m trying to say
Is aII i wanted was you
I want you
I want you
Baby i want you
I may have buiIt for you a dreamhouse
But never thought you were aIone
I fiIIed the party up with company
But never made our house a home
AII i ’ve got is my guitar these chords and the truth
AII i got is my guitar … but aII i want baby aII i want
I never wanted the stars
Never shot for the moon
I Iike them right where they are
AII i wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Cause i can ’t face the truth
AII i ’m trying to say
Is aII i wanted was you
I want you
I want you
Baby i want you
