| I wanted a girl I was sure would be good to me
|
| (Didn't want) No girl who could make me cry
|
| I wanted a girl with a love that could satisfy
|
| Didn’t want no sadness in love
|
| All I wanted was gladness in love
|
| But I fell in love with you and discovered
|
| That the day you take one (Uh-huh)
|
| You’re gonna have to take the other
|
| Oh, I didn’t want no sleepless nights
|
| I wanted a girl who would treat me right
|
| Didn’t want no tossing and turning
|
| I wanted a girl to keep the love light burning
|
| Didn’t want the bad things in love
|
| All I wanted was the glad things in love
|
| But I fell in love with you and discovered
|
| That the day you take one (Uh-huh)
|
| You’re gonna have to take the other
|
| Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey
|
| Hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey
|
| A little bad comes along with every good
|
| You’ve got to take the bitter with the sweet, uh
|
| True love never runs smooth like we think it should
|
| But true love can’t be beat, oh
|
| Didn’t want no trouble and confusion
|
| The love I wanted was only an illusion
|
| I didn’t want to have to change none of my ways
|
| I wanted to stay like I was all of my days
|
| Didn’t want to make a sacrifice, uh
|
| All I wanted was a girl that was nice
|
| But I fell in love with you and discovered
|
| That the day you take one (Uh huh)
|
| You’re gonna have to take the other, oh oh
|
| (Didn't want no)
|
| Trouble and confusion
|
| (All I wanted was)
|
| A love that was an illusion
|
| (Didn't want no)
|
| Heartache and misery
|
| (All I wanted was)
|
| A girl to be good to me
|
| (Didn't want no)
|
| Girl … |
