The last time that I saw her Was the night she said goodbye She said that love’s a stranger And it’s sure to pass you by Yes she did
As she packed up her belongings Baby wouldn’t look me in the eye But I could see a tear roll 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 like them right where they are All I wanted was you So baby just turn away ‘Cause I can’t face the truth All I’m trying to say Is all I wanted was you
I tried so hard to remember Where when how why love went away I tried to drown myself in pity But your memory kept calling my name Yes it did
I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings Baby All the things that money brings And the servants to paint the skies blue
And I worked so hard seven days a week Built a fortress for your heart to keep If I could I’d wrap these words up for you
I never wanted the stars Never shot for the moon I like them right where they are All I wanted was you So baby just turn away ‘Cause I can’t face the truth All I’m trying to say Is all I wanted was you
I want you, I want you, baby I want you
But never thought you were alone I filled the party up with company But never made our house a home
All I’ve got is my guitar these chords and the truth All I’ve got is my guitar but all I want Baby all I want
I never wanted the stars Never shot for the moon I like them right where they are All I wanted was you So baby just turn away ‘Cause I can’t face the truth All I’m trying to say Is all I wanted was you
I want you, I want you, baby I want you
I never wanted the stars I want you I never shot for the moon I want you I like them right where they are Baby I want you
So baby just turn away I want you ‘Cause I can’t face the truth I want you All I wanted to say Baby I want you
I never wanted the stars I want you I never shot for the moon I want you I like them right where they are Baby I want you
