All She Ever Really Wanted

(album: Wild Horses – The Nashville Album - 1998)

I'd given her the mountains
Every star up in the sky
Any little thing she wanted I would do
But the sad and lonely truth is
That I never stood a chance
'Cause all she ever wanted was you

You don't listen to her problems
You just think about yourself
Heaven knows you've made her cry a time or two
I would gladly dry those teardrops
Make her smile forever more
But all she ever wanted was you

Ain't love a funny thing
Never know what'll make a heart sing
Nothing I could say
Nothing I could do
All she ever really wanted was you
All she ever really wanted was you

Well I know I ought to give up
Fall in love with someone else
'Stead I hold on to this dream that won't come true
And I'm always gonna wonder
Till the very day I die
Why all she ever wanted was you

Ain't love a funny thing
Never know what'll make a heart sing
Nothing I could say
Nothing I could do
All she ever really wanted was you
All she ever really wanted was you
