"Just What I Always Wanted" is a song by English singer Mari Wilson, released in 1982 as the lead single from her 1983 debut album Showpeople.
As Wilson's fifth single release, "Just What I Always Wanted" was her first UK top 40 hit, reaching No. 8 in October 1982.
Robin Denselow of The Guardian said of the song: "With 'Just What I Always Wanted', Mari Wilson found the perfect song to fit her image - emotional, slightly camp & sounding as if it might have been a pop hit back in the early 60s. It was tongue-in-cheek but performed with deadpan panache, treated the same way Mari treats her stage uniform with her long gloves, jewellery & enormous beehive hairdo."
The song's lyrics mention three people while listing things that the singer wants: artist Pablo Picasso ("not one Picasso, he'll give me a pair"), the song's writer Teddy Johns ("a tune from Teddy"), and the song's artwork photographer Peter Ashworth ("an Ashworth snap").
