Lyrics

Tell me how long must I keep wanting things
Needing things
When I have so much
There are many men who have much less than me
Day by day, they make their way
And they find more in life than I can see
Tell me when will I learn to resist wanting things?
Touching things that say, "Do, do not touch"
People that I meet seem to think I am strong
They don't see inside of me
So they don't know I'm weak and often wrong
Tell me
(Wanting things, ah)
There are many men who have much less than me
Day by day, they make their way
And they find more in life
Than I can see
Tell me
Why must I keep wanting things?
Needing things that just can't be mine?
Oh, wanting things that just can't be mine
Written by: Burt Bacharach, Hal David
