About All You Wanted

"All You Wanted" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Michelle Branch, released as the second single from her debut album The Spirit Room. It was released by the Maverick Recording Company and Warner Bros. Records on October 28, 2001. The song was written by Branch and was produced by John Shanks. "All You Wanted" received generally positive reviews and is, to date, Branch's only top-ten single in the United States, surpassing the peak of her debut single "Everywhere" and reaching number six on the Billboard Hot 100. The song also performed well in New Zealand, reaching number three on the RIANZ Singles Chart—one place shy of the peak of "Everywhere". Elsewhere, however, "All You Wanted" did not match the success of "Everywhere", underperforming in Europe and stalling inside the top 30 in Australia.

I wanted to be like you
I wanted everything
So I tried to be like you
And I got swept away

I didn't know that it was so cold
And you needed someone
to show you the way
So I took your hand and we figured out
That when the time comes
I'd take you away

If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
was somebody who cares

I'm sinking slowly
So hurry hold me
Your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on
Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go when you're gone

If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
was somebody who cares

All you wanted was somebody who cares
If you need me you know I'll be there
Oh, yeah

If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
was somebody who cares

Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go when you're gone
