There she goes
Little black dress on
Standing with the other girls
Wearing velvet and pearls looking so fine, so fine

All the time that she try to catch my eye
Now I hear that she's crushing on another guy
Why do we always want what we can't have oh oh oh oh

I never really wanted, never really wanted that girl
I never really wanted , wanted her in my world
I never really wanted that girl over now I do

I never noticed how
A woman's eyes can dance
But from the outside in looks like the dancing for him
Leads me wondering, wondering
Why isn't now I see her in a different light
If I could turn back time I would tonight
Why do we always want what we can't have oh oh oh oh

I never really wanted, never really wanted that girl
I never really wanted , wanted her in my world
I never really wanted that girl over now I do oh oh oh

You better get that girl while get good
There a list of fools who wish they could
Why do we always want what we can't have? Oh!

I never really wanted, never really wanted that girl
I never really wanted, wanted her in my world
I never really wanted that girl over now I do, yeah.

I never really wanted, never really wanted that girl
I never really wanted, wanted her in my world
I never really wanted that girl over now I do
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh yeah yeah
