All I Want

Her hat is hanging by the door
The one she bought in mexico
It blocked the wind, it stopped the rain
She'd never leave that one
So she can't be really gone

The shoes she bought on christmas eve
She laughed and said they called her name
It's like they're waiting in the hall
For her to slip them on
So she can't be really gone

Chorus:
I don't know when she'll come back back
She must intend to come back
And i've seen the error of my ways
Don't waste the tears on me
What more proof do you need
Just look around the room
So much of her remains

Her book is lying on the bed
The two of hearts to mark her page
Now who could ever walk away at chapter 21
So she can't be really gone

Bridge:
Just look around this room
So much of her remains

Her book is lying on the bed
The two of hearts to mark her page
Now who could ever walk away with so much left undone
So she can't be really gone
No she can't be really gone

I just want to get a little more out of my payday
Finally own a car that doesn't break down on the freeway
A little vacation..... ain't askin' very much

I hate comin' home to this old broken down apartment
I wish i had a dime for every whole that's in the carpet
No i don't want it all... but i ain't got enough

Chorus
All i want is a life
To drink from a glass from a well that ain't dry
I'm sick of the crumbs i want a peice of that pie
All i want is a life.

I don't mind the hours and the pain that comes from workin'
But it's enough to kill me when i see my baby hurtin'
Wanna give her that diomond.... i never got to buy

She keeps tellin' me that everything is gettin' better
But one step up the rung and someone knocks me off the ladder
Just wanna break even someday before i die

Repeat chorus

Maybe we should just sleep on it
I got an empty feelin' when that moving van pulled up
It got a little emptier as i watched them fill that truck
And when they carried out your clothes it took my breath away
Now they're headed for that bed
The thought keeps runnin' though my head

Chorus
Baby, maybe, we should just sleep on it tonight
And give our hearts just one more chance to change our minds
I could be wrong but goodbye just don't feel right
So baby, maybe, we should just sleep on it tonight

I'll pay them boys to stop right now
And leave that truck out on the curb
The tv and the phone's packed up
So we won't be disturbed
There's not a light left in this room just a shadow of a doubt
So let's make sure we don't give up
Before we've thought this through enough

Repeat chorus

Baby, maybe, we should just sleep on it tonight
And give our hearts just one more chance to change our minds
I could be wrong but goodbye just don't feel right
So baby, maybe baby, maybe baby, maybe
We should just sleep on it
Tonight

Everywhere i go, they're staring at her
Every man i know he wants to have her
I guess i ought to be a jealous man

I look the other way, they're hittin' on her
Every night and every day, they telephone her
They try to get to her but i know they can't

Chorus
She never lets it go to her heart
She never lets it go that far
When they start talking she starts walking
Right back to my arms
She can turn every head
But she never lets it go to her heart

She walks into the room and everybody watches every move
Hoping she don't love me
I know it by the way they hang around

But they don't realize there's more to her than
What meets the eye that's why i'm certain
No matter what they do to reach her now

Repeat chorus

When they start talking she starts walking
Right back to my arms
She can turn every head
But she never lets it go to her heart
