Just Out of Reach

Lyrics

[Chorus: Alfa Anderson] I want a love that's mine all mine, all the time You keep it just out of reach I want a love that's mine all mine You keep it just out of reach [Verse 1: Alfa Anderson] She arrives all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed Oh but soon, soon the tears will swell Makin' it here seems such a cinch But soon she'll smell the stench Of the gutter-dwellers, them pretty fellows [Chorus: Bernard Edwards] You keep it just out of reach I want a love that's mine all mine You keep it just out of reach [Verse 2: Bernard Edwards] I sit alone and wonder why Sweet love just pass me by Is there someone out there who wants to try I'll protect you, girl I never will neglect you Just slip on this ring and I will make your heart sing, my love [Chorus: Alfa Anderson, Both] I want a love that's mine all mine, all the time You keep it just out of reach I want a love that's mine all mine You keep it just out of reach [Saxophone solo] [Chorus: Alfa Anderson] I want a love that's mine all mine, all the time You keep it just out of reach I want a love that's mine all mine [Chorus: Alfa Anderson, Bernard Edwards, Both] I want a love that's mine all mine But you keep it out of reach I want a love that's mine all mine But you keep it out of reach
