All I Want Is You Lyrics
Somebody told me
Just the other day
That you´re leaving me
We´re through
Well if you knew
How it hurt me so
Then you´d change your mind
I´m sure
Don´t want to hear
What´s going on
I don´t care
What´s new
Don´t want to know
About anything
’cause all I want
Is you
Going out with other girls
Was always such a bore
But since I fell in love with you
I need you more and more
Don´t want to know
About one-night-stands
Cut-price souvenirs
All I want is
The real thing
And a night that lasts
For years.
If you ever change your mind
I´ve a certain cure
An old refrain, it lingers on
L´amour, toujours l´amour...
Don´t want to learn
About etiquette
From glossy magazines
Why should I try
To talk correct
Like they do
In another scenes
Say no more
About imagery
You´re starting to confuse
Just make an offer
Of more romance
Of course I can´t refuse
All I want is you
Oo oo i´m all cracked up on you.
Just the other day
That you´re leaving me
We´re through
Well if you knew
How it hurt me so
Then you´d change your mind

Don´t want to hear

What´s new
Don´t want to know
About anything
’cause all I want

Going out with other girls
Was always such a bore
But since I fell in love with you
I need you more and more
Don´t want to know
About one-night-stands
Cut-price souvenirs
All I want is

And a night that lasts
For years.

No comments on another immortal rocker from Roxy? For SHAME, gentlemen and ladies. Surely I live in a fallen age...
Great song - starts with a convulsion of tolling bells, momentary disorientation, unhinged emotion careening wildly into the night sky - until those first fantastic thumps from P. Thompson's floor tom kick in. "Somebody told me just the other day..."
"say no more more about imagery - you're starting to confuse" (I think of High School English class!)
Famous last lines: "OOOH - I'm all cracked up on you!"
Roxy Music can take a mere love song and turn it into something elegant and intergalactic at once.
