"'Just What I Always Wanted'" is a song by English singer Mari Wilson, released as a single in 1982. It is 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 Guardian' 17 February 1983 "Robert Denselow reviews the new rock releases" 'Arts' p.12
