I Only Wanted
Mariah Carey Song Lyrics

Artist: Mariah Carey
Album: Charmbracelet (2002)

La, da, da, da...
Mmm...

Doesn't it ever stay
Must it always fade away
Couldn't love ever be
Something tangible and real
Farewell, fairweather friend
Abandonment returns to taunt me again

I only wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
Foolishly I romanticized
Someone was saving my life
For the first time
I only wanted you to be there when I
Opened up my - eyes

I was caught in your masquerade
Wish I'd stayed beneath my veil
But it just seemed so easy to
Open up myself to you
Once more into the wind
The embers scatter
And the chill settles in

I, I only wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
Foolishly I romanticized
Someone was saving my life
For the first time
I only wanted you to be there when I
Opened up my eyes...

Ah...
Da, da, da, da, da...

Oh...
I only wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
Foolishly I romanticized
Someone was saving my life
For the first time
I only wanted you to be..
The one to get me through that night
I only wanted you to be there when I
Opened up my eyes
Oh
Doesn't it ever stay?
I only wanted you to
Stay
