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...
