Melissa Etheridge - The Wanting Of You

She's got her sweet children She's got her house, she's got some land Her earthly possessions She's got a ring upon her hand She tried to be a good girl She tried to make everything right She tried to kill the voices That haunt her each and every night She looks up to heaven And wonders why love is so cruel She loves him, won't hurt him Can't stop the wanting of you, oh She married in high school Oldest was well upon her way But that wild night, Chicago It left a mark she can't erase A phase you'll just get over That's what her friends have always said You dip your toes in water She's in way over her head She looks up to heaven And wonders why love is so cruel She loves him, won't hurt him Can't stop the wanting of you, oh Keeping her desire paralyzed She catches in the corner of her eyes Tank top, smooth skin, soft lips, tan thighs How the hell's this ache ever gonna die? We make our choices Doing what we think is good We deny our own dreams 'Cause we think we've been told we should We think we've been told we should She looks up to heaven And wonders why love is so cruel She loves him, won't hurt him Can't stop the wanting of you She looks up to heaven And wonders why love is so cruel She loves him, won't hurt him Can't stop the wanting of you Oh, oh, oh, oh She can't stop, she can't stop the wanting of you Oh, oh, oh, oh She can't stop the wanting, the wanting of you
