I want to touch you but you seem to be out of my reach
I want to savor your peaches
Girl, I can't shake your tree
I want to kiss you 'cause I just can't keep away
I want to rob all your riches
you know I can't amend my ways
'Cause I want what I can't have
and what I have I don't want
and I know the name of the game is hard to get
but I can't wait, I can't wait
My envy always turns a darker shade of green
when I see you around
with another man at your side
When I was young, they said, boy don't you ever be no fool
for a girl like you
their teachings did no good
'Cause I want what I can't have
and what I have I don't want
and I know the name of the game is hard to get
but I can't wait, I can't wait
I can be your patient man
I've never been the jealous type
but when I see you with another man
I seem to lose my sight-
of what's wrong, and what's right
I can't sleep at night
I know what I need
Lord help me now
Lord help me!
And I want what I can't have
and what I have I don't want
and I know the name of the game is hard to get
but I can't wait, I can't wait
I can be your patient man
I've never been the jealous type
but when I see you with another man
I seem to lose my sight-
of what's wrong, and what's right
I can't sleep at night
I know what I need
Lord help me now
