The Pointer Sisters Wanting Things song lyrics

Tell me how long must I keep

Wanting things

Needing things

When I have so much?

There are many men who have much less than me

Day by day

They walk their way

And they find more in life than I can see

Tell me, when will I learn to resist

Wanting things

Touching things

That say: Do, do not touch?

People that I meet seem to think I am strong

They don't see

Inside of me

So they don't know I'm weak and often wrong

Tell me, why must I keep

Wanting things

Needing things

That just can't be mine?

Oh, wanting things

That just can't be mine?
