I Got What I Wanted

I Got What I Wanted - Brook Benton

When I go to all the places

We used to go

When I see all the people

We used to know

They ask me why I look so sad

I have to say

I got what I wanted

But I lost what I had

Without your love

I'm such a lonely man

That's what I am

And there's no one

But myself to take the blame

Because I once had your love and I treated you so bad

I got what I wanted but I lost what I had

Since you've gone the bright lights are dim

The people don't seem the same

They're so used to seeing us together

Oh but my how things have changed

I went searching not knowing what I'd find

I looked for something and I had it all the time

Now to think I've treated you so bad makes me sad

I got what I wanted but I lost everything I had

I got what I wanted but I lost what I had
