Want (to) songs

I can’t find any songs with lots of different lines with different “want to” or with a mix of positive or negative, but will keep looking… In the meantime, in approximate order of usefulness:

All I Want for Xmas in You by Mariah Carey (link to lyrics)

I Want to Hold Your Hand by the Beatles (which at least has some other modal verbs too – link to lyrics)

I Only Want to Be With You by Dusty Springfield (two different “want to” lines – link to lyrics)

I Want it All by Eurythmics (link to lyrics)

All I Want for Xmas is My Two Front Teeth (link to lyrics)

I Want it All by Queen (link to lyrics)

Don’t Want to Dance by Eddie Grant (link to lyrics)

I Want to Break Free by Queen (link to lyrics)
