Burt Bacharach
Wanting Things
[Verse 1]
Tell me
How long must I keep
Wanting things
Needing things
When I have so much?
[Bridge]
There are many girls who have much less than me
Day by day
They make their way
And they find more in life than I can see
[Verse 2]
Tell me
When will I learn to resist
Wanting things
Touching things
That say "Do, do not touch?"
[Bridge]
People that I meet seem to think I am strong
They don't see
Inside of me
So they don't know I'm weak and often wrong
[Verse 3]
Tell me
Why must I keep
Wanting things
Needing things
That just can't be mine?
