The Wanting Of You
She's got her sweet childrenShe's got her home she's got some landHer earthly possessionsShe's got a ring upon her handShe tried to be a good girlShe tried to make everything rightShe tried to kill the voicesThat haunt her each and every night
She looks up to heavenAnd wonders why love is so cruelShe loves him won't hurt himCan't stop the wanting of you
She married in high schoolOldest was well upon her wayBut that wild night ChicagoIt's left a mark she can't eraseA phase you'll just get overThat's what her friends have always said
You dip your toes in waterShe's in way over her head
She looks up to heavenAnd wonders why love is so cruelShe loves him won't hurt himCan't stop the wanting of you
Keeping her desire paralyzedShe catches in the corner of her eyesTank top, smooth skin, soft lips, tanned thighsHow the hell's this ache ever gonna dieAnd we make our choicesDoing what wee think is goodWe deny our own dreams'Cause we think we've been told we shouldWe think we've been told we should
She looks up to heavenAnd wonders why love is so cruelShe loves him won't hurt himCan't stop the wanting of you
