When You Want Something You Can’t Have

Lyrics

[Verse 1] So I hear you're rebuilding your life Down in Mexico way To act out your favourite play With your cat and piano I always knew you could play I knew you better than your friends would suggest The ones who laid claim to being your best [Chorus] Well that's always the way When you want something That's always the way When you want something you can't have When you want something you can't have [Verse 2] You were my favourite one But I suppose that's fallen on deaf ears Because of the way that it was left It was in the hands of the gods the sods They're an unruly mob and on their CV They can now write down theft [Chorus] Some things, they are not for the best And that's always the way When you want something That's always the way When you want something you can't have That's always the way When you want something you can't have When you want something you can't have [Verse 3] I never wanted this to happen this way When do we ever a little time called never Retrospect is such a cruel invention No cruel intentions not a single bad I never wanted this to happen this way When do we ever a little time called never Retrospect is such a cruel invention No cruel intentions I want something I can't have
