Wanting You But Never Having You Lyrics

(Wanting you but never having you will soon destroy what's left of my mind)
I know that you're another man's possession
And it's wrong to steal the key that fits his door
I know it's wrong to play in raging water but my weaken will possess me find the shore
Wanting you but never having you
How much longer can I stand it where this patience draw the line
Wanting you but never having you will soon destroy what's left of my mind
I can't help it if my selfish heart desires you
I can't help it if I stare with hungry eyes
Each time that you come near me fashion candles
And the fire inside starts burning me alive
Wanting you but never having you...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
