You Want What You Can't Have

Some people want a house on the top of the hill

Some people want people to pay all their bills

Some people want to move on, some people want to go back in time

Some people buy everything they want, other people don't have a dime

You want what you can't have

Since the Garden of Eden it's been like that

You can't tear down the tree, or pull all the weeds

You want what you can't have

Some people wear their heart on their sleeve

Some people have a heart of stone

Some people are the life of the party

Others want to be left alone

Some people want a drink

Some people want a smoke

Some people stay up all night

Praying for a child of their own

You want what you can't have

Since the Garden of Eden it's been like that

You can't tear down the tree, or pull all the weeds

Spend your life looking for the greener grass

You want what you can't have

Even fortune tellers can't go back

Can't wake the dead, or change what you said

You want what you can't have

We want the spark but we don't want the burn

We want the love but we don't want the hurt

You want what you can't have

Since the Garden of Eden it's been like that

You can't tear down the tree, or pull all the weeds

Spend your life looking for the greener grass

You want what you can't have

Even fortune tellers can't go back

Can't wake the dead, or change what you said

You want what you can't have

Oh we all want what we can't have

You want what you can't have
