I Got What I Wanted - Re-Recording - 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

Just to think

I’ve treated you so bad

Makes me sad

I got what I wanted

But I lost what I had

Since you’ve gone

The bright lights are dim and

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

When I had it all the time

Now to think I’ve treated you

So bad, makes me sad

I went out and got what I wanted

But I lost what I had

I got everything that I wanted

But I lost what I had

I got what I wanted

But I lost everything I had…
