All i want is you roxy music lyrics

Lyricist：Bryan Ferry

Somebody told me just the other day
That you're leaving me, we're through
Well if you knew how it hurt me so
Then you'd change your mind, I'm sure

Don't want to hear what's going on
I don't care what's new
Don't want to know about anything
'Cause all I want is you

Going out with other girls
Was always such a bore
But since I fell in love with you
I need you more and more

Don't want to know about one night stands
Cut price souvenirs
All I want is the real thing
And a night that lasts for years

If you ever change your mind
I've a certain cure
An old refrain, it lingers on
L'amour, toujours L'amour

Don't want to learn about etiquette
From glossy magazines
Why should I try to talk correct
Like they do in another scenes

Say no more about imagery
You're starting to confuse
Just make an offer of more romance
Of course I can't refuse

All I want is you
I'm all cracked up on you

Roxy Music All I Want Is You
(ferry)

Somebody told me
Just the other day
That you're leaving me
We're through
Well if you knew
How it hurt me so
Then you'd change your mind
I'm sure
Don't want to hear
What's going on
I don't care
What's new
Don't want to know
About anything
'cause all i want
Is you
Going out with other girls
Was always such a bore
But since i fell in love with you
I need you more and more
Don't want to know
About one-night-stands
Cut-price souvenirs

All i want is
The real thing
And a night that lasts
For years.
If you ever change your mind
I've a certain cure
An old refrain, it lingers on
L'amour, toujours l'amour...
Don't want to learn
About etiquette
From glossy magazines
Why should i try
To talk correct
Like they do
In another scenes
Say no more
About imagery
You're starting to confuse
Just make an offer
Of more romance
Of course i can't refuse
All i want is you
Oo oo i'm all cracked up on you.

"All I Want is You" is a single by English rock band Roxy Music, written by Bryan Ferry, and taken from their 1974 album Country Life.[1] It reached a peak of #12 on the UK Official Singles Chart, in an eight week stint on the charts.[2] The single is also notable for its B-side, an instrumental track called "Your Application's Failed", which is the only track to date written by drummer Paul Thompson. The track was re-released on The Thrill of It All boxset.

Reception[edit]

Reviewing the album Country Life for The Quietus in 2014, Ned Raggett said:

If there's a note-perfect song on a note-perfect album, though, it might have to be "All I Want Is You", three songs into the whole thing and so perfect it's no surprise Country Life almost feels front-loaded. Manzanera's introduction is a fanfare for six-string and feedback; and from there it's another quick stomper, fast and fun without being ponderous or simply skipping by, Ferry splitting the difference between main verses and breaks and making both equally memorable and immediate. There is a full instrumental section that lets everyone show off collectively, while still wrapping it up in three minutes. And all the while Ferry deliciously - there's no other word for it, he sounds like he's savouring every last syllable as he delivers it - seems to just throw out lines like, "If you ever change your mind/ I've a certain cure/ An old refrain, it lingers on/ L'amour, toujours l'amour" and "Don't want to know/ About one-night-stands/ Cut-price souvenirs/ All I want is/ The real thing/ And a night that lasts/ For years." Take it at face value, read it all as a ploy, or both, it all works, and when he bows out with "Ooo-oo, I'm all cracked up over you!" there could be no finer flourish; his heart, or something close to it, worn on his sleeve.[3]
