We Always Want What We Can't Get Lyrics

The door behind me closes- 

I know for sure this chapter's over 

I'll never more see my reflection in her loving eyes 

A million times before I've seen 

When opposites attract to me 

The flame burns uncontrollably but soon the fire dies 

But I'm not sure what I'm asking for - 

Why if I want love do I beg for more? 

Chorus: 

Guess we always want what we can't get 

Love just strikes us blind 

But in the end, we always get what we can't want 

You'd have thought we'd have learned 

But we fall for it every time 

It turns me on if she's unreachable or dangerous 

When what I need and what I lust 

Are completely different things 

How many times have I let love slip through my fingers 

Chasing after promises I know will never keep? 

But I don't know why I can't let go- 

When my heart says yes 

But my mind screams no 

Chorus 

I've been looking all my life for answers 

Questions of the heart I've got to ask her 

Does she exist or does she not? I wonder... 

And so my search for her goes on and on and on 

But I don't know why I can't let go- 

When my heart says yes 

But my mind screams no 

Chorus 

Guess we always want what we can't get 

Will I be running around chasing love 

‘Till I lose my mind? 

We always get what we can't want 

Does anybody - anyone at all feel the same?
