All I Ever Wanted es un álbum de Kelly Clarkson, publicado en 2009 por RCA. El disco incluye 14 canciones, entre ellas «My Life Would Suck Without You», «I Do Not Hook Up», «Cry» y «Don't Let Me Stop You».
Sobre el álbum
Tras la confrontación artística de su anterior trabajo, el álbum "All I Ever Wanted" de 2009 representa un regreso a la fórmula del éxito en la discografía de Kelly Clarkson. En este disco, la cantante vuelve a colaborar con los grandes creadores de hits del pop, como Max Martin y Ryan Tedder, para entregar una colección de canciones de pop-rock enérgico y radiable. Es visto como una reconciliación con el sonido que la hizo famosa.
En primer lugar, el álbum está liderado por el éxito masivo "My Life Would Suck Without You". Esta canción, con su producción explosiva y su estribillo catártico, se convirtió en un número uno instantáneo y en una de las canciones más representativas de su carrera. El disco marcó un retorno triunfal a las listas de éxitos.
El trabajo está repleto de temas potentes y pegadizos. "I Do Not Hook Up" y "Already Gone" (esta última objeto de controversia por su similitud con "Halo" de Beyoncé, ambas producidas por Tedder) fueron otros de los singles destacados. Mientras tanto, la voz de Kelly Clarkson suena tan poderosa y versátil como siempre, demostrando por qué es una de las mejores vocalistas de su generación.
"All I Ever Wanted" es un álbum de pop impecablemente ejecutado. Aunque quizás carece del riesgo y la personalidad de "My December", es una colección de canciones extraordinariamente sólida y un recordatorio del increíble talento de Kelly Clarkson para crear himnos pop atemporales.

[Verse 1] Oh sweetheart, put the bottle down You've got too much talent I see you through those bloodshot eyes There's a cure you've found it Slow motion sparks You caught that chill Now don't deny it But boys will be boys Oh yes they will They don't wanna define it Just give up the game and get into me If you're looking for thrills then get cold feet [Chorus] Oh no I do not hook up, up I go slow So if you want me I don't come cheap Keep your hand in my hand And your heart on your sleeve Oh no I do not hook up, up I fall deep 'Cause the more that you try The harder I'll fight To say ... Goodnight [Verse 2] I can't cook, no, but I can clean Up the mess she left Lay your head down and feel the beats As I kiss your forehead This may not last But this is now So love the one you're with You want a chase But you're chasing your tail A quick fix won't ever get you well [Chorus] 'Cause I feel the distance Between us Could be over With a snap of your finger... Oh no [Chorus:] Oh no I do not hook up, up I go slow So if you Want me I don't come cheap Keep your hand in my hand And your heart on your sleeve Oh no I do not hook up, up I fall deep 'Cause the more that you try The harder I'll fight To say... 'Cause the more that you try The harder I'll fight To say... Goodnight Oh sweetheart put the bottle down 'Cause you don't wanna miss out - Cry3:35

Letra
I felt it The wire touched my neck And then someone pulled it tighter I never saw it coming I started to black out and Then someone said good morning I took it as a warning I should have seen it coming So now I'll take a chance on This thing we may have started Intentional or not I Don't think we saw it coming It's all adding up to something That asks for some involvement That asks for a commitment I think I see it coming If we step out on that limb My heartbeat beats me senselessly Why's everything got to be so intense with me I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability In all probability [Chorus] It's a long shot and I say why not If I say forget it I know that I'll regret it It's a long shot just to beat these odds The chance is we won't make it but I know if I don't take it there's no chance 'Cause you're the best I got So take a long shot I realize that there is all this doubting Things we're both scared about but We'll never see them coming Throw caution to the wind and We'll see what way it's blowing And into this fully knowing We'll never see it coming Until it's much too close to stop [Chorus] Oh I waited for fact to come to fiction And you fit my description I never saw you coming But we'll make it [Chorus] You didn't expect this Oh you never saw me coming You didn't expect this Oh you never saw this coming I take a long shot I take a long shot, shot, shot, shot 'Cause you're the best I got Oh I'm taking this chance on you baby I'm taking this chance on you baby I'm taking this chance - Impossible3:23

Spoke up and thought I'd try Try to step across the line You know that I've been thinkin' 'bout it for a while Yeah starting to think it's time I knee Does me good to know I finally feel Feel this pain, it's real It's possible You say [Chorus] Can't change the winds, you say Won't matter anyway Can't reach that far 'cause it's impossible It's impossible Can't rise above this place Won't change your mind so I pray Breakin' down the walls Do the impossible Walkin' by myself I know This lonely road's becomin' my new home But I don't stop, I just keep movin' on And on Ain't no need to dry my eyes I haven't cried in quite some time Every day I fight it You know it's possible You say [Chorus] Can someone tell me why it's so hard takin' chances You draw the line and think that I won't ask for more, yeah I will stumble and I'll make my own mistakes yeah But I won't worry 'bout it anymore It's impossible [Chorus] It's impossible to you Not impossible for me Not impossible for me Spoke up and though it'd try Try to step across the line - Ready3:05
Letra
Frozen Forgetful again The part where I lose my head The scene where I'm supposed to speak but instead I sit and listen again I'm stuck with these cards, I guess Leaping from this cliff in my thoughts I fly like stones in my heart Drowning in doubt, for what reason? I sit so patiently Drenched in what you want me to be I can't escape [Chorus:] I'm ready now Oh I'm ready now Oh I'm ready now Come get me Fearless With cape in hand Conquer what I need to mend Little girls get so broken But I sit so patiently Drenched in what you want me to be I can't seem to escape [Chorus] Through with golden roads and perfect love Too much of your mouth is like too much sun How I burn, how I burn I was so patient waitin' for my turn I fly like stones As I break every bone Come get me [Chorus x2] - I Want You3:32
Letra
Hot temper with the shortest fuse You're such a mess with an attitude You're workin' hard but you're payin' more You never talk 'cause you don't have to You gotta job but you hate the man Who takes it all like 'Uncle Sam' I want you I want you Outta gas so you walk for miles To pick me up in your warn out shoes You never settle, never take too much You count on me just like I count on you Kiss me, like when I first saw you You figured out I couldn't be without you You I want you [3x] No one else will do (I want) No one makes me smile (I want) No one gets me how (I want) No one else is you I want you [4x] You're so hot tempered With the shortest fuse You're such a mess And with an attitude You I want you [3x] No one else will do (I want) No one makes me smile (I want) No one gets me how (I want) No one else is you I want you [5x] You and me walkin' together Screwing up for worse or for better You I want you - If No One Will Listen4:04
Letra
Maybe no one told you There is strength in your tears And so you fight to keep from pouring out But what if you unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul Do you think there's enough to that you might drown? [Chorus] If no one will listen If you decide to speak If no one is left Standing after the bombs explode If no one wants to look at you For what you really are I will be here still No one can tell you where you alone must go There's no telling what you will find there And, God, I know the fear that eats away at your bones Screaming every step, "Just stay here" [Chorus] If you find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself down If your legs have given out under the weight If you find that you've been settling for a world of gray So you wouldn't have to face down your own hate [Chorus x2]
