The Association - Wantin' Ain't Gettin' lyrics

At home, doggin’ a bone Knuckle bone and I had a stroke Tryin’ to get away from a two dollar cop But wantin’ ain’t gettin’ And gettin’ ain’t got and I’m gone Have mercy, baby A runaway mule, pig in a poke TV screen and a bullfrog croak Tryin’ to find a way to get a bottle of pop But wantin’ ain’t gettin’ And gettin’ ain’t got and I’m gone Have mercy, baby Horse’s ear, hoot and a holler Big-riff bulge in a righteous squallor Tryin’ to find a place where nothing’s hot But wantin’ ain’t gettin’ And gettin’ ain’t got and I’m gone Have mercy, baby The co*k’s crow, hole in the wall Man sayin’ God is a cannonball Wanna fly high so I aim for a rock But wantin’ ain’t gettin’ And gettin’ ain’t got and I’m gone Have mercy, baby Wantin’ ain’t gettin’ and gettin’ Ain’t got and I’m gone Have mercy, baby But wantin’ ain’t gettin’ I still ain’t got and I’m gone Have mercy, baby Grabbin’ ain’t gettin’ And gettin’ ain’t got and I’m gone Have mercy, baby
