Everything I Can't Have
Robin Thicke · The Evolution Of Robin Thicke [2006]
I wanna drink my drink
I wanna get high
I cant have everything
I wanna be rich
Never work at all
And sleep all day
And I wanna see it all
Oh I want, I want everything
I want everything I cant have
When the brandy hits my throat I go
Da Da Da Da
When I see the girls those girls they make me go
Da Da Da Da
When I get a taste a taste I lose control
Da Da Da Da
And when that brandy hits my throat I go
Da Da Da Da
I want a fresh girl
From Dominica
Maybe from Puerto Rico
From Columbia
Breakfast lunch and dinner
I want it all the time
Yo te quiero mucho
Yo hablo espanol
Oh I want, I want everything
I want everything I cant have
I want a house and kids
A big family
I want so many women
I cant have everything
Everything I Can't Have
