"Wanted" adalah lagu memilukan yang merefleksikan penyesalan dan kesalahpahaman dalam sebuah hubungan. Dengan lirik yang ditulis oleh vokalis Dolores O'Riordan, lagu ini menyampaikan kesedihan seseorang yang telah kehilangan cinta karena komunikasi yang buruk. Berpusat pada gagasan bahwa hal-hal tidak berjalan sesuai rencana, lagu ini mengekspresikan kekecewaan dan kebingungan yang datang dengan merasa tidak dipahami oleh orang yang paling dicintai seseorang.
Wanted Lyrics
The Cranberries
Sittin' in an armchair,
With my head between my hands;
I wouldn't have to feel like this
If you'd only understand
Too many misunderstandings
Causing such delay
And if it doesn't work like this
Well I'll try another way
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand
You know that all I wanted was
To be there by your side
And if you didn't want it
Well you shouldn't have denied
You knew that you were someone special
Right from the start
But if you treat me badly
We'd be better off apart
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand, understand
Oh, oh oh oh, oh...
With my head between my hands;
I wouldn't have to feel like this
If you'd only understand
Too many misunderstandings
Causing such delay
And if it doesn't work like this
Well I'll try another way
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand
You know that all I wanted was
To be there by your side
And if you didn't want it
Well you shouldn't have denied
You knew that you were someone special
Right from the start
But if you treat me badly
We'd be better off apart
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand, understand
Oh, oh oh oh, oh...
