Joe Jackson You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)
Sometimes you start feelin' so lost and lonely,
then you'll find it's all been in your mind.
Sometimes you think someone is the one and only;
can't you see, it could be you and me?
But if there's any doubt,
then I think I'll leave it out.
'Cause I'll tell you one thing:
you can't get what you want
till you know what you want.
Said, you can't get what you want
till you know what you want.
Sometimes you keep busy reaching out for something.
You don't care, there's always something there.
Sometimes you can't see that all you need is one thing.
If it's right, you could sleep at night,
But it can take some time,
But at least I'm here in line.
'Cause I'll tell you one thing:
you can't get what you want
till you know what you want.
Said, you can't get what you want
till you know what you want.
Sometimes you can't see that all you need is one thing.
If it's right, you could sleep at night,
But it can take some time,
But at least I'm here in line.
'Cause I'll tell you one thing:
you can't get what you want
till you know what you want.
Said, you can't get what you want
till you know what you want.

Another Version:
Sometimes you stop feeling so lost and lonely,
Then you find it's all been in your head.
Sometimes you think someone is the one and only,
Can't you see it could be you and me?
But if there's any doubt, Then I think I'll leave it out.
('Cause I'll say one thing:)
You can't get what you want,
'Til you know what you want.
Said you can't get what you want
'Til you know what you want.
Sometimes you keep busy reachin' out for something
You don't care there's always something there
Sometimes you can't see that all you need is one thing:
If it's right, you could sleep at night
But it can take some trying;
But at least I hear it right.
'Cause I'll tell you one thing:
You can't get what you want
'Til you know what you want
Said you can't hear what you want
'Til you know what you want.
Sometimes you can't see that all you need is one thing:
If it's right you could sleep tonight.
But it can take some time,
But at least I'm hearin' right.
'Cause I know one thing;
You can't get what you want
'Til you know what you want.
Said you can't get what you want
'Til you know what you want.
-------------
I'm tellin' man, you can't get what you want
What you want (want, want)
I'm tellin' man what you want (want, want)
What you (you) want (want, want, want)...
