When I Wanted You BARRY MANILOW Music and Lyrics by Gino Cunico Tho' we're going our separate ways There can only be brighter days 'Cause I didn't mean that much to you Work it out, don't lose the fight You can make it turn out right 'Cause you've got the heart to be secure When I wanted you I needed you And I still can't bring myself to say I'm over you When I gave you time to make up your mind You turned you back on me And now I've got to turn my back on you After all that we've been through Leavin' you is so hard to do But when I close my eyes I don't feel the pain What was wrong and who was right In the end you see the light 'Cause you think a lot when you're on your own When I wanted you I needed you And I still can't bring myself to say I'm over you When I gave you time to make up your mind You turned you back on me And now I'm turnin' mine on you Now you're on your own How does it feel To feel the way I used to feel When I wanted you I needed you And I still can't bring myself to say I'm over you When I gave you time to make up your mind You turned you back on me And now I'm turnin' mine on you
