You Wanted More Lyrics
You've been before
I've seen the signs
Outside your door
You set the rules
The bitter days
Can't be ignored
It's just the same
Just like before
You wanted more
I love the rain
You gave it up
But all in vain
I love the way
It was before
So bittersweet
To be adored
We had it all
You let it go
You wanted more
What is a friend
If not some one
To help pretend
Remember me
You know my name
I'm still the same
But not for you
That's not enough
You wanted more
I love the rain
You gave it up
But all in vain
You couldn't change
You know the score
So bittersweet
To be adored
We had it all
You gave it up
You wanted more
We had it all
You gave it up
You wanted more
What is a friend...
It used to be
The way you are
You and me
You came too late
You left too soon
Just like the rings
Around the moon
We had it all
You let it go
You wanted more
We had it all
You gave it up
You wanted more
We had it all
You gave it up
You wanted more..
Okay, I'm not gonna do this one just yet. Since I provided it, i think it better to leave this open to somebody else first. I do think there's more to this song than what it apparently is at first glance though. See what you can come up with guys+girls :D
Guys, I'm dissapointed. Where are all the horeds of a-ha fans eh??? Lol, the truth is, this song is a little appropriate to the total lack of any interest in the band. I have a very strong feeling it's a rather dissapointed and deflated complaint from the band to the fans no less!! Well, not so much complaint, but put it this way. The band comkes out in the mid 80s, raging horeds of fans, sell out concerts. Oh how we loved take on me and the sun always shines on tv....and that other one....before they know where they are, poor old a-ha are having more demand for great songs and more performances. The poor guys cant keep up with demand. "We had it all, you gave it up, you wanted more"
OK, this song tells of a couple that couldn't make it and it screams of the inability of the male character to not be up to her sexually. And i also can see her having an abortion too. The lyrics are very deep and ambiguous as are most songs by this terrific band
@indyagent YIKES. I am that man and those are my last 2 girlfriends. One could go all night and I just didn't have the stamina. The other had an abortion. Both left me worse off mentally than I was when I met them. I've no hard feelings toward them....

... which for one of them, was the problem in question. Lolz

Can't we just say it's about Oliver Twist?

I love this song! Of course, I love everything a-ha does, they're my favorite band and they will always be.
The way I see it is that this song is about a man whose girlfriend/wife/whatever left him, because she wanted more. They had everything (in his mind), but she didn't think so, so she left him. Later she comes back, but not for a romantic relationship, she wants to be just friends. She wants to forget they were ever even in a romantic relationship together, but he can't help but remember.
What if the song about someone who died? "You loved the way, it used to be The way it was, with you and me It came too late, and left too soon Just like the rings around the moon We had it all, you let it go"
I'd like to hear shadowsoul2000 expand on his/her idea.
I wondered if this was about a friend/lover/colleague who took heroin.
The subsequent parting of ways and reunion or rememberence.
