Song | You Never Get What You Want |
Artist | Patty Griffin |
Album | Living With Ghosts |
作词 : Griffin | |
You first found me in my holding pen | |
Stopped to take a look and stuck your finger in | |
I bit one off and you came back again and again | |
Then the nice people let me out one day | |
And you told me how to act and | |
What to say | |
But you never get what you wanted that way | |
You never get what you want | |
You never get what you want and | |
I don't think it's my fault | |
You never get what you want, do you baby? | |
Everything's always such a mystery | |
Including your sad little history | |
Do you still think someone should take responsibility and pay | |
Ever since | |
I've know you you've walked that walk | |
You've broken all the records | |
Now you've broken all the clocks | |
And everytime it breaks my heart to hear you talk this way | |
You never get what you want | |
You never get what you want and | |
I don't think it's my fault | |
You never get what you want, do you baby? | |
Everybody's been sad, everybody's been tragic | |
Whole lot of hard times, whole little bit of magic | |
These bitter bitter fruits and these endless hallways | |
They're killing us baby | |
We gotta walk away, walk away | |
You never get what you want | |
You never get what you want | |
You spend your whole time thinkin 'bout why | |
I'm so deranged | |
Well honey, why don't you think about that for a change? | |
You never get what you want | |
You never get what you want | |
Your whole damn life | |
You never get what you want | |
Not your whole damn life | |
You never get what you want | |
And I don't think it's my fault | |
You never get what you want | |
Do you baby |
