Melissa Etheridge - If I Wanted To Lyrics

My moms theme song

Melissa is a rock goddess

great song please check out Essential Classic Rock Vinyl Records and many more videos

STILL ROCKS!!

great song  and  video .

Yo sólo vine porque Gustavo Cerati dijo q era una pésima artista y quise comprobarlo con mis propios odios.

En efecto es pésimo 😲

That scream from 1:53-2:00 😍😍

I thought I was the only one, gets me every time!

One of the first albums I fell in love with, and this was as a young teen simply because my mom played the songs so much. Absolutely love this.

I’m tired.

The Aussies loved her music before the rest of the world caught on. Thirty years later, Aussies still love Ms. Etheridge. I think Toni Childs and Tracy Chapman released albums about the same time but seem to have fallen by the wayside since.

One of my favs from her and she is hot and That's coming from a straight woman lol

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH !!!

If i only wanted too, if you really know...

Always holds a place in my heart!! <3

I saw Melissa Etheridge perform this song at the Byron Bay Bluefest here in Australia in 2015 - she is so talented as a singer
and as a guitarist - love her raspy rock voice~!!

I wouldn't have to be in love with you...if I only wanted to.

Can someone tell me if it's "If I Only Wanted To" or "If I Wanted To"?

Also, it says copyright 1998, but didn't this song come out in '95?

💙🔥💙

The song is titled "If I Wanted To" on the album...yet the video is titled "If I ONLY Wanted To". I confuzzled. xD

it's just music left or right music 🤗

I'm straight and I think she is as sexy as hell. Would change sides for her.

Agreed!

They always come back from time to time to try our Filoso Machete again.

I’m gay and I’d trade sides for her... she could reach the inside to ur soul... love her!!!

@ricardorgm30 ewww gross

@katelyn silly squirrel lol :D I know, I know... sorry.

(^O^)❤😘❤

makes me want to play my guitar

This song rocks love Melissa!

If I wanted to, I could be as patient as death
Fix this hole in my heart leaking into my flesh
If I wanted to, I could turn sparks into ice
There'd never be another woman
Who could make you think twice
I wouldn't have to be in love with you
If I only wanted to, if I only wanted to

this girl is pretty fuckin deep and powerful

Oooooooo oooooooo ooooohhh

Awesome !!!!!

this song needs more cowbell!!

great stuff one of my favorites

I went and seen her in concert. she's great💜.

Mr. Chip: Go listen to Dinah Shore or Bob Manning or Eydie Gorme or Jerry Vale. You wouldn't understand good music, but it will keep you from sucking your,,,,,,,,,,thumb.

Never could sing. Give it up, kid.

+Lee Larson haha, OOkay, go listen to Miley or lady gaga

Lee Larson what crap.she's a blues singer.Rather go and listen.to soppy crap.that they turn.out on the radio.stations.awsome artist

Melissa Etheridge - If I Only Wanted To

I was listening to this one Sue can she ever express herself this woman it's probably because of all those issues she's had in her life!
Thank You!

TrueBlueSue49 , if I only wanted too, if yaaa know...

=-) <3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa_Etheridge #MELISSAETHERIDGE #IFIWANTEDTO

:) Love it. !

Easily my favorite Melissa Etheridge joint!  I loved hearing this when I was a kid.

So sad i live in Athens and probably i won't have the chance to see her live

+Angelika93 Yiassou, Angelika! I do hope you get to see her live. I just watched your cover of Like the Way I Do and I was so impressed that I sent it to her on Twitter. You are quite good! I don't say that often because I've known and seen Melissa live since 1982 and I am picky. But, I know good when I hear it and I am not just saying that because I am part Greek (the good part, kardia mou). Xa! Perfect concert for me would be Anna Vissi and Melissa. Maybe Vandi and Evridiki, too. Best wishes and keep playing!

+Kimberly Jimenez Hello Kimberly! i'm so happy to hear these beautiful words from you! Thank you for posting my cover at Melissa's Twitter! Do u think she may see it??!! Wow!!!! I hope you're doing fine!!! Thanks again for your good words! Kisses and love from Greece!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Wait a minute I want to hear you sing her cover it's on you tube I'll be going in a few. Report back.

She was on voice just this year 2017. Is there anything she sings in English?

Am I the only gay guy who thinks she's extremely sexy?

Nooo your not the only one. she is definitely hott

+Andrew Francis Hell, no! You are not alone!

+Andrew Francis I'm a straight guy who thinks she's sexy, at least!

And this is why some women try to purposely look as "gross" or butch as possible . so guys are not staring at them .

Andrew Francis

Yes, you are.

The first guy is latent bisexual or closeted. The second is seeing her as having the body of a young boy. Not realizing that in this vid what she is wearing is hiding her curves. In this vid she's not interested in showing off her body or perhaps covering it by intent.


Could you possibly be a tad confused and not realize you're closet bisexual or sapiosexual? MelissaE is a very dynamic, creative, talented, stunning and intelligent person. She would easily attract a sapiosexual.

Great song

I seem to remember 9/21/93 off the yes I am album track # 2.

This song is 1995 not 1998!

1993 off Yes I Am.

wow, what a stunning combo that would make.....they could sing "i'm a quart low"...
\/-out

i wanna see her jam with Stevie Nicks, SH ,U talk about SEXY.

GREAT SONG OMG!!!!

She looks so HOT in this video..................and this is coming from a straight guy.

Damn she is sooooo damn sexy as well as hotttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

I LOVE IT

Her songs always speak to my soul

That's the paradox, of course--you always want to be in love.

she is my telling my heart in her words. RCK ON SUPERSTAR RUNS WITH SCISSORS HOUSTON TEXAS

Her music is amazing!

I love all her music it always put's me in a good mood even if I am going through alot

Love you MELISSA...MUAH

Thank Uncle Bill for supporting Melissa when she came out

she looks gorgeous... this song is amazing...

MEEE ENCANTA ESTA CANCIONNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

she is a bitc* and I love her.

@IsCoolSilke I totally agree..she is way much more than who she likes..she is an amazing woman

Thank you God for allowing Melissa to survive & continue rocking us all! AMEN.

I've grown up with Melissa in my repertoire of music and she's always been a source of inspiration and strength throughout my life. Thanks so Melissa! Keep it up :)

If I wanted to I could do alotta thangs, but there's thing I couldn't do if he asked me to..

Best lesbian performer EVER! One of the best performers - ever

to all the women with fuck up men

if i wanted to i could .........

OH MY GOD!!!!! Yea that about covers it!!!! I love her1

aaaw yeah !! The memories!! :-p

i love this vid.. she looks freaking sexxxxyyyy

Another kickin song from the best woman rocker of this generation!

@Kbennett2217 you're so lucky!! how's her concert recently?? too bad im in Middle east :( you damn lucky

Got the chance to see her live and unplugged really close to the stage it was AMAZING. If you get the chance please get a ticket and go!

i love you melissa!!!!

and there'd never be another woman who could make you think twice

@dogstwelve Is she ever!

you are so right she is so HOT!!

@lurch321 Yes, I agree. I'm a straight guy. There's nothing wrong with finding her hot! I've loved her music since her first hit.

@TheMelissamay I agree. she is the most powerful voice since Janis Joplin & if I win my argument with my cousin, the best ever. I'm a guy, but all that aside, she is sheer talent. I've seen her in concert 5 times. I've never done that for any other artsist. Her voice & artistry is unenhanced, unsurpassed, and unproven by anyone since, no matter how prettyy, sexy, or media friendly. She has to be tired of her publicity though. It's damn shame she had to be the one to lead us to mainstream.

One of my favorite of Melissa's!

The only song more annoying than this is the next time i fall by peter cetera my work plays them both haha

take me !!!!

And this song really got my last girlfriend outta my head....

quite an amazing song... i remember listening to her music whenever i used to travel with my mom... and anytime we got in the car for that matter.

This guy could be tom petty's twin!

It would totally be so cool just to jam with her! :) I love her music....This is one of my favourite songs that she sings.

Damn she is sexy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Melissa Rocks.

Released on the Yes I am album, 1994.
