All I Ever Wanted
All I ever wanted,
Was to be treated right,
And then possibly his wife.
All I ever wanted,
In my life was for you,
To return the favor,
Of my hard, unselfish labor.
All I ever wanted,
From you not the material things,
Just to give me loving,
That would make my heart sing.
All I ever wanted
Was not the lies that you told me
Was not the constant saying
I treat you with the utmost respect.
I always wondered,
Why did you reject me?
And then want me only
When the lower part of your body,
Stood erectly.
All I knew,
That when you,
First touched me
I fell in love immediately
My heart ticked for you,
Just like a clock.
I gave more than,
What you wanted,
Which left my heart empty,
And haunted.
I received less,
Than your best.
All I ever wanted,
Was to be treated right,
And then possibly his wife.
