"I Wanted You" lyrics - JOHN AND MARY

JOHN AND MARY
"I Wanted You"
(R. Hudson/J. Ford)

My mind was like a roller coaster
Shall I take a look or turn the other way?
You stood there like a day-glo poster
Hoping to catch my eye,
Then maybe I'd get excited

Oh I can only say, you made me in a funny way
You saved me, and later in the day
Was the time I knew I wanted you

I'm sure I found my way to heaven
When looking up at you
In that early morning light
Did it point the way to us forever?
'cause I needed you then
But I want you even more now

Oh I can only say, you made me in a funny way
You saved me, and later in the day
Was the time I knew I wanted you

You say your love could feed a nation
That you're saving for me
If this is the thing you've kept me waiting for
I'll stand the segregation of the waiting for you
That's turned into a lifetime

Oh I can only say, you made me in a funny way
You saved me, and later in the day
Was the time I knew I wanted you
