Wanting Things Lyrics - Burt Bacharach

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 make their way. 

And they find more in life thank I can see. 

Tell me, 

When will I learn to resist 

Wanting things, 

Touching things that say "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!
