Wanting Things

Tell me how long must I keep, wanting things

Needing things, when I have so much

There are many girls who have much less than me

Day by day, they make their way

And they find more in life than I can see



Tell me when will I learn to resist, wanting things

Touching things that say, "Do, do not touch"

People that I meet seem to think I am strong

They don't see inside of me

So they don't know I'm weak and often wrong



Tell me, why must I keep, wanting things

Needing things that just can't be mine
