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 was born with a love disease

It's known as chronic hard to please

I want the one I can't have

Given choices A and B

I'll probably go with option C, oh

I want the one I can't have

There's so many beautiful girls

In this beautiful world

But I want the one I can't have

The one I can't have

I know this girl she thinks I'm fine

And I could have her anytime

But I want the one I can't have

Swearing true love 'til the end

I'm looking past her at her friend

Yeah, I want the one I can't have

There's so many beautiful girls

In this beautiful world

But I want the one I can't have

I saw this actress on tv

I think she is the one for me, yeah

I want the one I can't have

I opened up this magazine

I fell in love on page 13, yeah

I want the one I can't have

There's so many beautiful girls

In this beautiful world

But I want the one I can't have

The one I can't have
