Lyrics
Needing/Getting
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.
I've been waiting for months
Waiting for years
Waiting for you to change
Aw, but there ain't much that's dumber
There ain't much that's dumber
Than pinning your hopes on a change in another
And I, yeah, I still need you, but what good's that gonna do?
Needing is one thing and getting, getting is another
So I been sitting around
Wasting my time
Wondering what you been doing
Aw, and it ain't real forgiving
It ain't real forgiving
Sitting here picturing someone else living
And I, yeah, I still need you, but what good's that gonna do?
Needing is one thing and getting, getting is another
I've been hoping for months
Hoping for years
Hoping I might forget
Aw, but it don't get much dumber
It don't get much dumber
Than trying to forget a girl when you love her
And I, yeah, I still need you, but what good's that gonna do?
Oh, needing is one thing and getting, getting is another
When?
When?
Why not now?
Why not me?
Why not me?
When?
When?
Why not now?
Why not me?
Why not me?
