WANTING YOU, BUT NEVER HAVING YOU
(Dallas Frazier)


Jack Greene - 1967





Wanting you but never having you
Will soon destroy what's left of my mind

I know that you're another man's possession
And it's wrong to steal the key that fits his door
I know it's wrong to play in raging waters
But my weakened will won't let me find the shore

Wanting you, but never having you
How much longer can I stand it, where does patience draw the line
Wanting you, but never having you
Will soon destroy what's left of my mind

I can't help it if my selfish heart desires you
I can't help it if I stare with hungry eyes
Each time that you come near me passion kindles
And the fire inside starts burning me alive

Wanting you, but never having you
How much longer can I stand it, where does patience draw the line
Wanting you, but never having you
Will soon destroy what's left of my mind
