Whenever We Wanted (Album Version)

Whenever We Wanted - John Mellencamp

Written by：John Mellencamp

We weren't afraid of nothing

Wasn't nothing we couldn't do

She held her breath once for seven minutes

And never turned blue

She could burn a woman down

If she felt she'd been unkind

Or if she thought she was coming on to me

It drove her out of her mind

Oh yeah it's true

We did what we did

Whenever we wanted to

Yeah it's true

We did what we did

Whenever we wanted to

She was my very best friend

My biggest enemy

On judgment day we would go either way

It was all the same you see

She was not afraid of satan

But she thought he was a joke

Said she'd tear off his tail

And run her fist down his throat

Oh yeah it's true

We did what we did

Whenever we wanted to

Yeah it's true

We did what we did

Whenever we wanted to

She was the apple of temptation

The apple of my eye

Used to rest on a bed of burning coals

Every single night

And I know she's out there somewhere

She's wrestling in the bones

With confetti in her hair

You can bet she's not alone

Oh yeah it's true

We just did what we did

Whenever we wanted to

Yeah it's true

We did what we did

Whenever we wanted to

Yeah it's true

We did what we did

Did what we did

And we just did what we did

Whenever we wanted to
