The Wanting Of You

She's got her sweet children,
She's got her house, she's got some land.
Her earthly possessions.
She's got a ring upon her hand.
She tried to be a good girl,
She tried to make everything right.
She tried to kill the voices
That haunt her every night.
She looks up to heaven
And wonders why love is so cruel.
She loves him, won't hurt him
Can't stop the wanting of you.
She married in high school,
Oldest was well upon her way.
But that wild night, Chicago.
It left a mark she can't erase.
A phase she'll just get over.
That's what her friends have always said.
You dip you toes in water,
She's in way over her head.
She looks up to heaven
And wonders why love is so cruel.
She loves him, won't hurt him
Can't stop the wanting of you.
Keeping her desire paralyzed,
She catches in the corner of her eyes,
Tank tops, smooth skin, soft lips, tanned thighs.
How the hell's this ache gonna die?
And we make our choices,
Doing what we think is good.
We deny our own dreams,
'Cause we think we've been told we should.
We think we've been told we should.
She looks up to heaven
And wonders why love is so cruel.
She loves him, won't hurt him
Can't stop the wanting of you.
Oh-oh-oh-oh.
She can't stop, she can't stop,
The wanting of you.
Oh-oh-oh-oh.
She can't stop the wanting,
The wanting of you.
