Why Do We Want What We Know We Can't Have Songtext

von Reba McEntire

SOME COME FOR THE MUSIC, SOME COME FOR ROMANCE
YOU GOTTA BE WITH THE BOY WHO BROUGHT YOU TO THE DANCE
WHEN ACROSS THE ROOM THERE COMES A CASUAL GLANCE
AND YOU'LL BE MAKING SOME TIME GIVEN HALF A CHANCE

HEY SOME LIKE TO LOOK, SOME LIKE TO TOUCH
ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY CAN'T HAVE WAY TOO MUCH
SOME LIKE TO GET REAL CLOSE TO THE FLAME
AND ONCE THEY'RE IN THE HEAT
YOU KNOW THEY'RE NEVER THE SAME

(CHORUS) WHY DO WE WANT WHAT WE KNOW WE CAN'T HAVE
AND WHY DON'T WE WANT
WHAT'S IN THE PALM OF OUR HANDS
WHY WE ALWAYS LOOKIN'
AT WHAT'S JUST OUT OF OUR GRASP
WHY DO WE WANT WHAT WE KNOW WE CAN'T HAVE
(10 mm break)

SUSIE WAS OUT DRIVING HER NEW CORVETTE
SHE HADN'T MADE THAT SECOND PAYMENT YET
SHE REAR-ENDED A SEMI, BUT NOT BY CHOICE
SHE WAS A RUBBER-NECKIN' A NEW ROLLS ROYCE

(CHORUS 2X)
