Mariah Carey - I Only Wanted

Doesn't it ever stay
Must it always fade away
Couldn't love ever be
Something tangible and real
Fare well fair weather friend
Abandon ment 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

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

Doesn't it ever stay
I only wanted you to stay

Doesn't it ever stay
Must it always fade away
Couldn't love ever be
Something tangible and real
Fare well fair weather friend
Abandon ment 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

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

Doesn't it ever stay
I only wanted you to stay
