You Can’t Get What You Want

Joe Jackson

Sometimes you start feelin' so lost and lonely

Then you'll find it's all been in your mind

Sometimes you think someone is the one and only

Can't you see, it could be you and me?

But if there's any doubt

Then I think I'll leave it out



'cause I'll tell you one thing

You can't get what you want

Till you know what you want

Said you can't get what you want

Till you know what you want



Sometimes you keep busy reaching out for something

You don't care, there's always something there

Sometimes you can't see that all you need is one thing

If it's right, you could sleep at night

But it can take some time

But at least I'm here in line



'cause I'll tell you one thing

You can't get what you want

Till you know what you want

Said you can't get what you want

Till you know what you want



Sometimes you can't see that all you need is one thing

If it's right, you could sleep at night

But it can take some time

But at least I'm here in line



'cause I'll tell you one thing

You can't get what you want

Till you know what you want

Said you can't get what you want

Till you know what you want
