Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Always wanting you, but never having you
Makes it hard to face tomorrow
'Cause I know I'll wake up 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

Wish I'd had a way of knowing that the things we had in mind
Could never be

Always wanting you, but never having you
Makes it hard to face tomorrow
'Cause I know I'll wake up wanting you again
Always loving you, but never touching you
Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand

Always loving you, but never touching you
Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand
