Melissa Etheridge - The Wanting Of You lyrics

She's got her sweet children She's got her home she's got some land Her earthly possessions She's got a ring upon her hand She tried to be a good girl She tried to make everything right She tried to k** the voices That haunt her each and every night She looks up to heaven And wonders why love is so cruel She loves him won't hurt him Can't stop the wanting of you She married in high school Oldest was well upon her way But that wild night Chicago It's left a mark she can't erase A phase you'll just get over That's what her friends have always said You dip your toes in water She's in way over her head She looks up to heaven And wonders why love is so cruel She loves him won't hurt him Can't stop the wanting of you Keeping her desire paralyzed She catches in the corner of her eyes Tank top, smooth skin, soft lips, tanned thighs How the hell's this ache ever gonna die And we make our choices Doing what wee think is good We deny our own dreams 'Cause we think we've been told we should We think we've been told we should She looks up to heaven And wonders why love is so cruel She loves him won't hurt him Can't stop the wanting of you
