Lyrics Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors – You Want What You Can’t Have

Some people want a house on the top of the hill
Some people want people to pay all their bills
Some people want to move on, some people want to go back in time
Some people buy everything they want, other people don’t have a dime

Some people wear their heart on their sleeve
Some people have a heart of stone
Some people are the life of the party
Others want to be left alone
Some people want a drink
Some people want a smoke
Some people stay up all night
Praying for a child of their own

You want what you can’t have
Since the Garden of Eden it’s been like that
You can’t tear down the tree, or pull all the weeds
Spend your life looking for the greener grass
You want what you can’t have
Even fortune tellers can’t go back
Can’t wake the dead, or change what you said
You want what you can’t have

We want the spark but we don’t want the burn
We want the love but we don’t want the hurt

You want what you can’t have
Since the Garden of Eden it’s been like that
You can’t tear down the tree, or pull all the weeds
Spend your life looking for the greener grass
