Wanting Things

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
