All I Wanted
All I wanted was someone to care.
Someone to be there.
Someone who wouldn't leave.
Someone who wanted to be with me.
All I wanted was someone nice.
Someone to treat me right.
Someone who would accept me as myself.
Someone who wouldn't try to make me someone else.
All I wanted was someone who wouldn't lie.
Someone who wouldn't say goodbye.
Someone who would be true.
I guess all I wanted was you.
