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.

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...
Single 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...
