[Verse 1]
Saw you at a party the other night
Was the last place I thought you'd be
He was holding on to you so tight
I felt like it was choking me
See I never wanted nothing
That belonged to someone else
But I want you so bad
I want you all for myself
[Pre-Chorus]
I want to be your lover
Wish I could tell you so
But I'll keep it close to my heart
Until he lets you go
[Chorus]
I want something that I cannot have
Something beautiful
Something just out of my grasp
I want something that I cannot have
I want you babe
I want you so bad
[Verse 2]
Driving 'round the city late night
I can never get no sleep
Just can't shake you from my
How did it ever get so deep?
All I really want now
All I ever think about
Is the love that I am living without
[Pre-Chorus]
I want to be your lover
Wish I could tell you so
But I'll keep it close to my heart
Until he lets you go
[Chorus]
I want something that I cannot have
Something beautiful
Something just out of my grasp
I want something that I cannot have
I want you babe
I want you so bad
[Bridge]
It lives forever in the back of my mind
Thinking how I'm gonna love you baby
All of the time
I think about it baby
You know it drives me crazy
Another heart has been lost
Their cards have been dealt
Yeah the dice have been tossed
I've gotta find a way
To make you mine someday
[Pre-Chorus]
I want to be your lover
Wish I could tell you so
But I'll keep it close to my heart
Until you let him go
[Chorus]
I want something that I cannot have
Something beautiful
Something just out of my grasp
I want something that I cannot have
I want you babe
I want you so bad
