When I Wanted You
Music and Lyrics by Gino Cunico
Tho' we’re going our separate ways
There can only be brighter days
'Cause I didn’t mean that much to you
Work it out, don’t lose the fight
You can make it turn out right
'Cause you’ve got the heart to be secure
When I wanted you I needed you
And I still can’t bring myself to say I’m over you
When I gave you time to make up your mind
You turned you back on me
And now I’ve got to turn my back on you
After all that we’ve been through
Leavin' you is so hard to do
But when I close my eyes I don’t feel the pain
What was wrong and who was right
In the end you see the light
'Cause you think a lot when you’re on your own
When I wanted you
I needed you
And I still can’t bring myself to say I’m over you
When I gave you time to make up your mind
You turned you back on me
And now I’m turnin' mine on you
Now you’re on your own
How does it feel
To feel the way I used to feel
When I wanted you
I needed you
And I still can’t bring myself to say I’m over you
When I gave you time to make up your mind
You turned you back on me
And now I’m turnin' mine on you

You turned your back on me to Someone else... Problem is you never told me. I’m glad I did not go back in time with you. I still cry all these years later with this song but it helped me move from the immense pain.
Barry good afternoon how s your day? The song makes me think of my frisrt love and I hope to see you at 1 more time. Peanut is my puppy and my sister s dog had 4puppies and my little peanut is the fans puppy bunny
Played this one on radio when Debbie left. Conveniently, Arista released it on a 45 so I could play it often, basically in hurt and anger and disappointment that she was gone. Still hurts, and still working to get over it 36 years later. Sometimes you lose one dream in pursuit of another, and it takes years to figure out whether it was worth it.
I like the depth of the lyrics in this song. Even though he has moved on and when he closes his eyes he doesn't feel the pain, yet there is a part of him that will never be able to say he is over her. Such is love...
Gotta be one of Manilow's best.I have a lot of memories connected to this song,some bitter,some sweet.I am still here to enjoy the song.I made it through the rain twice.Third time lucky i hit the jackpot.Happy as fuck,never give up.
I Recently had my heart broken "Again" from a lady i gave so many chances, then when i was at work this song came on a local oldies station i listen to while in that town, never have i herd this song from Barry; cant believe how it filled me with Hope of getting over her & the support of someone who has been there..
