Ever Really Wanted

And if you ever really wanted someone to call your own
And if you ever really needed while you were all alone
And time and trouble, did you ever think
That you would be with your back against the wall?

But now you're older, so much wiser now
The one who wants to make the call
A little bolder now, 'cause while you're all alone
Don't really know why you be holding on, to what was wrong

And if you ever really thought that you would be
The one with your back against the wall
But now you rolling through
Like you never knew what it was to lose it all

And if you hear what the other man say, you better stop and see
And if you see what the other man see, you know we must agree
And if you do what the other man do, oh lord
We cannot be the way that we wanted
The way that you need for the one that should be

Have you ever really wanted someone to call your own?
Someone, something, some place, sometime
We shove along, and live the life
When you need someone, someone to call your own
My brotha, my sista, it's good to have a place for home

The lost and isolated, picking up the phone
But all I get's a ringtone, I've got myself, but its always good
To have a confident and a helping hand
'Cause we need each other, don't you understand well

Hear what the other man say, you better stop and see
And if you see what the other man see, you know we must agree
And if you do what the other man do, oh lord
We cannot be the way that we wanted
The way the you need for the one that should be

We can hope for better skies and we don't see
Why others lie all day and night
You can't deny these things we've seen through others eyes
The long and windy road is the road that's been less traveled on
I said the long and windy road is the road you take while moving on

And if you hear what the other man say, you better stop and see
And if you see what the other man see you know we must agree
And if you do what the other man do, oh lord
We cannot be the way that we wanted
The way that you need for the one that should be
