We Always Want What We Can't Get

The door behind me closes I know for sure this chapter's over I'll never more see my reflection in her loving eyes A million times before I've seen When opposites attract to me The flame burns uncontrollably but soon the fire dies But I'm not sure what I'm asking for, Why if I want love, do I beg for more? [Chorus:] Guess we always want what we can't get Love just strikes us blind But in the end, we always get what we can't want You'd have thought we'd have learned But we fall for it every time It turns me on if she's unreachable or dangerous When what I need and what I lust Are completely different things How many times have I let love slip through my fingers Chasing after promises I know will never keep? But I don't know why I can't let go When my heart says yes But my mind screams no [Chorus] I've been looking all my life for answers Questions of the heart I've got to ask her Does she exist or does she not? I wonder... And so my search for her goes on and on and on But I don't know why I can't let go When my heart says yes But my mind screams no [Chorus] Guess we always want what we can't get Will I be running around chasing love 'Til I lose my mind? We always get what we can't want Does anybody, anyone at all feel the same?
