Using traveling as a metaphor for hopping from bad relationship to bad relationship, the band tells a classic unrequited love story in which the storyteller wants nothing more than for her love interest, Joe, to be hers and hers alone. She admits that she’s been all over the world and has experience...
[Verse 1]
Joe
What am I to do?
I been all around this world looking for something like you
Oh, Joe
You know I'll always roam
But I still ain't got what I want
[Verse 2]
Here
Yes, I'm here, and I'm there
I get around, Joe
But I ain't goin' nowhere
Oh, Lord
Why do you choose to keep me so alone
When I still ain't got what I want?
[Chorus]
No, I still ain't got what I want
No, I still ain't got what I want
No, I still haven't got what I want
If I ain't got you
[Verse 3]
Now
They put me on an airplane
Tell me, flyin' off to somewhere that I ain't never been
Oh, you know
See he always kept me goin'
But I still ain't got what I want
[Bridge]
Now Joe
You know God's given me so many things
He fulfilled my many wishes
And I have achieved my many dreams
But oh, Lord
Why, he's the only thing I want
But I ain't gonna get what I want
[Chorus]
No, I still ain't got what I want
No, I still ain't got what I want
No, I still ain't got what I want
If I ain't got you
[Outro]
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you
