All I Want Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I found a guy, told me I was a star
He held the door, held my hand in the dark
And he's perfect on paper, but he's lying to my face
Does he think that I'm the kinda girl who needs to be saved?
[Verse 2]
And there's one more boy, he's from my past
We fell in love, but it didn't last
'Cause the second I figure it out, he pushes me away
And I won't fight for love if you won't meet me halfway
And I say that I'm through, but this song's still for you
[Chorus]
All I want is love that lasts
Is all I want too much to ask?
Is it something wrong with me?
All I want is a good guy
Are my expectations far too high?
Try my best, but what can I say?
All I have is myself at the end of the day
But shouldn't that be enough for me?
[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
And I miss the days when I was young and naive
I thought the perfect guy would come and find me
Now happy ever after, it don't come so easily
[Chorus]
All I want is love that lasts
Is all I want too much to ask?
Is it something wrong with me? Oh, ooh
All I want is a good guy
Are my expectations far too high?
Try my best but what can I say?
All I have is myself at the end of the day
And all I want is for that to be okay

How did you get your start singing?
I started out singing before I started acting. Actually, the reason that I got into acting is because I was so expressive when I sang. So people told me, “Hey, maybe you should get into acting. Maybe this will be something that you’ll like,” and I loved it, and here we are now.
Who is your character in High School Musical: The Series?
I play Nini in the High School Musical musical series, and she’s kind of this theater kid, and she’s just growing up and being a teenage girl, and taking her SATs, and dealing with boy problems and all of these issues that I’m all too familiar with. So it was really fun to get to play her on screen...
How did the song come about?
I wrote a song on my Instagram like maybe six months ago, and the Disney plus executive sent it to our producers and said, “We want a ballad for Nini and we want it to be like this song that Olivia wrote.” So, our show runner was like, “Well, why would we have somebody else write a song that you wan...
What was the songwriting process like?
I really wanted to write this song obviously from Nini’s point of view, but I feel like Nini and I share so many experiences that I was writing as Olivia and also as Nini, which is really great. So I wrote it for episode four and our show runner came up to me and he said, “We want her to be writing...
What was the recording process like?
I wrote the song by myself, which was really cool that they let me do that. Then I showed it to the showrunner and he had a couple of notes and little things. We didn’t want to tip the plot because Nini’s character arc goes a certain way and if she already has everything figured out by episode four...
