Notable differences

The single version of "(We Want) The Same Thing" is drastically different than the version found on her album "Runaway Horses". While the album version originally was an upbeat, country hit, the single version was changed into an incredibly powerful pop anthem: one of her most successful to date. In the "Runaway Horses" album booklet, the lyrics listed for "(We Want) The Same Thing" vary from the actual version on the album. The lyrics in the booklet match the lyrics for the single version.

Album version (verse 2)

"I look in your eyes and
""I know deep inside that
""We want the same thing
""So let's break the chains that
""Just make us insane 'cause
""We want the same thing
""Hey what's the problem here
""Can we negotiate
""I want to kiss your lips
""Before it's too late..."

ingle version (verse 2)

"I look in your eyes and
""I know deep inside that
""We want the same thing
""Breakin the chains that
""Just keep us in shame 'cause
""We want the same thing
""No matter what we say
""No matter what we do
""Beyond the battlelines
""Baby, we know what's true..."
