Why Do We Want (What We Know We Can't Have)

In the style of

Reba McEntire

Lyrics

some come for
the music
some come for
romance

you gotta be with
the boy
who brought you to
the dance

across the room there
comes a casual glance
and you'll be makin'
some time
given half a chance

hey some like
to look
and some like
to touch

all the things that
they can't have
are way too much

some like to get real
close to the flame
and once in the heat
you know

they're never
the same

why do we want
what we
know we can't
have

why don't we
want what's in
the palm of
our hand

why we always
lookin' for what's
just out of our
grasp

and why do
we want
what we know we
can't have

susie was out drivin'
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

why do we want
what we
know we can't
have

why don't we
want what's
in the palm of
our hand

why we always
lookin' it
was just out of
our grasp

why do we want
what
we know we
can't have

hey why do we want
what
we know we can't
have

why don't we
want what's
in the palm of
our hand

why we always
lookin' it
was just out of
our grasp

now why do we
want what
we know we
can't have

tell me now
