I Got What I Wanted And I Wasn't Even Trying

You got it then you lose it
You're up then you're down
Am I down yet? Am I down yet? No

I'll be in business for years
I'll be the toast of the town
I'll make the Fortune 500 and you may think I'm blind
But you can't get mad 'cause I wasn't even trying
I wasn't even trying
I wasn't even trying

At first it seemed like a regular affair
Until I noticed the sex wasn't there
There was plenty to fear--it was much more subversive
Love... Love

And he held my hand and he said everything right
And he tucked me into bed at night
He swept me off my feet till I thought I was flying
I got what I wanted and I wasn't even trying
I wasn't even trying
I wasn't even trying

Memories make the music great
Says the DJ on Nostalgia 98
So make some memories, kids, in this space right here

Are we great yet? Are we great yet?
Are we great yet? Are we great yet?

And I'll make more, and I'll make your memories too
And you'll reach for me when you get blue
Well I'm not trying
I got what I wanted and I wasn't even trying
I wasn't even trying
I wasn't even trying
I wasn't even trying
