Lyrics Barry Manilow

Barry Manilow

When I Wanted You

Tho' we're going our separate ways

There can only be brighter days

'Cause I didn't mean that much to you

Work it out, don't lose the fight

You can make it turn out right

'Cause you've got the heart to be secure

When I wanted you, I needed you

And I still can't bring myself to say I'm over you

When I gave you time to make up your mind

You turned you back on me

And now I've got to turn my back on you

After all that we've been through

Leavin' you is so hard to do

But when I close my eyes I don't feel the pain

What was wrong and who was right

In the end you see the light

'Cause you think a lot when you're on your own

When I wanted you

I needed you

And I still can't bring myself to say I'm over you

When I gave you time to make up your mind

You turned your back on me

And now I'm turnin' mine on you

Now you're on your own

How does it feel

To feel the way I used to feel

When I wanted you

I needed you

And I still can't bring myself to say I'm over you

When I gave you time to make up your mind

You turned you back on me

And now I'm turnin' mine on you

When I wanted you
