I Want More - Lyrics by Linda Eder


Lyrics

Lyrics: Jack Murphy

Day in and out what my life's all about
Are the things that you find far too boring
Washing and cooking and staying good-looking
While you get to do the ignoring
Will it ever be my turn to say where we're going?
Will it ever be my life that we're planning for?
I've been living this way for so long without growing
I want more

I need attention not mere condescension
But you just don't get the distinction
Pushing and shoving does not equal loving
Which seems on the brink of extinction
What became of the prince who was oh, so disarming?
What became of the sweet man at my beck-and-call?
Could it be that Prince Charming turned out not so
Charming
After all?

I want magic carpets, I want true romance
I want moonlight cruises to the South of France
And I want kisses that go on for days
I want more than this is in so many ways
I want more full-filling
I want equal billing
I want champagne chilling at the door
So, in short, I'm saying if you want me
I want more!

When did the me that I so long to be
Lose her natural sense of direction?
When did the you that I'm turning into
Get a trifle too tense for affection?
Can we ever get over
This thing about winning?
Can we ever recapture a moment that's past?
If we simply begin with a brand new beginning
Will it last? I want Shakespeare sonnets, I want oohs and aahhs
I want long-stem roses in a Gucci vase
And I want kisses that go on for days
I want more than this is in so many ways
I want more relating
I want less debating
I want all that I've been waiting for
So, in case you're listening, if you want me
I want more!

I want to fly through that storybook sky
Where two people in love always travel
I want to be like some deep mystery
That you simply can't wait to unravel
I want to soar ten feet off the floor
When you walk through the door
Like I used to before...

I want magic carpets, I want true romance
I want moonlight cruises to the South of France
And I want kisses that go on for days
I want more than this is in so many ways
I want more full-filling
I want equal billing
I want champagne chilling at the door
So, in short, I'm saying if you want me
Give me more relating
Give me less debating
Give me all those things I'm waiting for
So, in case you're listening, if you want me
Really want me, if you want me...
I want more!
