Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let's go
[Verse 2]
Said he was giving me a taffeta dress
That's just what I've always wanted
And then he said he'd give me more or less of
Just what I've always wanted
[Verse 3]
But you don't give me anything, and I don't ask you
Just yourself is good enough
That's just what I've always wanted
Just what I've always wanted
[Verse 4]
Hoh-oh, just what I've always
Wanted
[Verse 5]
He said he'd make of me a millionaire
That's what I've always longed for
Not one Picasso, he'll give me a pair
Just what I've always dreamed of
[Verse 6]
But you don't give me anything, and I don't ask you
Just yourself is everything
That's just what I've always wanted
Just what I've always wanted
[Verse 7]
Hoh-oh, just what I've always
Wanted
[Verse 8]
I've got a mink from Paris, a ring from Rome
A whole new wardrobe in my home
A tune from Teddy, an Ashworth snap
These are the landmarks on my map
[Verse 9]
I've got just what I always wanted
She's got just what she's always wanted
[Verse 10]
But you don't give me anything, and I don't ask you
Just yourself is everything
That's just what I've always wanted
Just what I've always wanted
[Verse 11]
Hoh-oh, just what I've always
Wanted
[Verse 12]
Hoh-oh, just what I've always wanted
Hoh-oh, just what I've always
Wanted
