Lyrics

ALL SHE EVER WANTED

YOU FINALLY FOUND HER
THEN YOU RAN AWAY
PICTURE LIFE WITHOUT HER
AND YOU KNOW YOU?VE GOT TO STAY
SHE HUNG IN AS LONG AS SHE COULD
TO SEE WHAT YOU WOULD DO
?CAUSE ALL SHE EVER WANTED WAS YOU

WHILE YOU WEREN?T LOOKING
THE FUTURE SLIPPED THROUGH YOUR HANDS
I MIGHT BE MISTAKEN
BUT THAT WASN?T WHAT SHE PLANNED
SHE?S GONE AND MADE UP HER MIND (LET ME BREAK THE NEWS)
LET ME BREAK THE NEWS
ALL SHE EVER WANTED WAS YOU

[Bridge] WE?VE BEEN FRIENDS A LONG TIME
YOU SEEM A LITTLE CONFUSED
REAL LOVE IS SO HARD TO FIND
AND THAT?S WHAT YOU COULD LOSE

[Refrain] ALL SHE EVER WANTED
ALL SHE EVER WANTED
ALL SHE EVER WANTED WAS YOU

YOU TRY SO HARD TO FORGET HER
AND YOU WON?T KNOW WHERE TO START
YOU?LL FACE IT SOONER OR LATER
THESE MATTERS OF THE HEART

I BELIEVE IT?S NEVER TOO LATE (IT?S NEVER TOO LATE)
IF YOUR LOVE IS TRUE (IF YOUR LOVE IS TRUE)
NOW YOU?D BETTER NOT WAIT (IT WAS HER DREAM TOO)
IT WAS HER DREAM TOO
AND NOW YOU KNOW
ALL SHE EVER WANTED WAS YOU

ALL SHE EVER WANTED
ALL SHE EVER WANTED
ALL SHE EVER WANTED WAS YOU
