Always Wanting You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Always wanting you, but never having you,
Makes it hard to face tomorrow 'cause I
Know I'll be wanting you again.
Always loving you, but never touching you,
Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand.
I'd been better off if I'd turned away and never
Looked at you the second time.
'Cause I really had my life all together till your eyes meet mine.
And there I say a yearning and a feeling 'cross
The room that you felt for me.
Wish I'd had a way of knowing that the things we had in
Mind could never be.
Always wanting you, but never having you,
Makes it hard to face tomorrow 'cause I
Know I'll be wanting you again.
Always loving you, but never touching you,
Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand.
