I want a love that's mine all mine
All the time
You keep it just out of reach
I want a love that's mine all mine

You keep it just out of reach
She arrives all bright eyed
And bushy tailed

Oh but soon  soon the tears will swell

Makin' it here seems such a cinch
But soon she'll smell the stench
Of the gutter dwellers

Them pretty fellows

You keep it just out of reach

I want a love that's mine all mine

You keep it just out of reach

I sit alone and wonder why
Sweet love just pass me by

Is there someone out there who wants to try

I'll protect you
Girl I never will neglect you

Just slip on this ring and
I will make your heart sing  my love
I want a love that's mine all mine
All the time
You keep it just out of reach
I want a love that's mine all mine

You keep it just out of reach

I want a love that's mine all mine
All the time
You keep it just out of reach
I want a love that's mine all mine

I want a love that's mine all mine

But you keep it out of reach
I want a love that's mine all mine
But you keep it out of reach
