Always Wanting You

(Merle Haggard)



Always wanting you, but never having you,

Makes it hard to face tomorrow 'cause I

Know I'll be wanting you again.

Always loving you but never touching you,

Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand.



I'd been better off if I'd turned away and never

Looked at you the second time

'Cause I really had my life all together

Till your eyes met mine.



And there I say a yearning and a feeling 'cross

The room that you felt for me.

Wish I'd had a way of knowing that the things we had in

Mind could never be.

Always loving you but never touching you
