Nelson We Always Want What We Can't Get
The door behind me closes
I know for sure this chapter's over
I'll never more see my reflection
In her loving eyes
A million times before I've seen when opposites attract to me
The flame burns uncontrollably but soon the fire dies
But I'm not sure what I'm asking for
Why if I want love do I beg for more?
Guess we always want what we can't get
Love just strikes us blind but in the end
We always get what we can't want
You'd have thought we'd have learned
But we fall for it every time
It turns me on if she's unreachable or dangerous
When what I need and what I lust are completely different things
How many times have I let love slip through my fingers
Chasing after promises I know will never keep?
But I don't know why I can't let go
When my heart says yes
But my mind screams no
Guess we always want what we can't get
Love just strikes us blind but in the end
We always get what we can't want
You'd have thought we'd have learned
But we fall for it every time
I've been looking all my life for answers
Questions of the heart I've got to ask her
Does she exist or does she not? I wonder
And so my search for her goes on and on and on
But I don't know why I can't let go
When my heart says yes
But my mind screams no
Guess we always want what we can't get
Love just strikes us blind but in the end
We always get what we can't want
You'd have thought we'd have learned
But we fall for it every time
Guess we always want what we can't get
Will I be running around chasing love till I lose my mind?
We always get what we can't want
Does anybody, anyone at all feel the same?
