Lyrics Joe Jackson – You Can’t Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)

Sometimes you start feeling so lost and lonely
Then you find it’s all been in your mind
Sometimes you think someone is the one and only
Can’t you see it could be you and me?

‘Cause I’ll tell you one thing
You can’t get what you want
Till you know what you want
Said you can’t get what you want
Till you know what you want

Sometimes you keep busy reaching out for something
You don’t care, there’s always something there
Sometimes you can’t see that all you need is one thing
If it’s right you could sleep at night
But it can take some time
But at least I’m here in line

‘Cause I’ll tell you one thing
You can’t get what you want
Till you know what you want
Said you can’t get what you want
Till you know what you want

Sometimes you can’t see that all you need is one thing
If it’s right you could sleep at night
But it can take some time
But at least I’m here in line

‘Cause I’ll tell you one thing
You can’t get what you want
Till you know what you want
Said you can’t get what you want

I’ll tell you one thing
You can’t get what you want, what you want
I’ll tell you one thing
You can’t get what you want, what you want
