(This Thing Called) Wantin' And Havin' It All

(앨범: This Thing Called Wantin' And Havin' It All - 1995)

Rich man grew old, owned a mansion on top of the hill
Now he's sitting at the table with his lawyer
Going over his will 'cause he's ill
The kids don't call, they're waiting for the man to die
He's gonna leave 'em all a little something
But they're gonna be real surprised

There's a poor man living on a budget at the bottom of that hill
With a wife and two kids and a worried mind
About how he's gonna pay the bills
Well, only the rich man knows, see
That's where a lot of his money goes
To the man that brought wood in the winter
To take a little weight off his shoulders

There's this thing called wanting and having it all
If you're gonna get there, you're gonna have to walk
But first, you'll have to crawl
And you know you've gotta do it step by step
Miss one and you'll fall into this well
Called wanting and having it all

Poor man has everything that the rich man don't
He's got love in his life and his heart
He's got a house he calls home
The rich man owns everything from miles around
But what he needs can't be bought, it has to be found

His rich kids think that they're better, 'cause they're better off
That's how they grew up thinking and now
He thinks it's all his fault
So while there's still time, the daddy that they nickel and dime
Is gonna make 'em learn to take a turn
And stand in line

There's this thing called wanting and having it all
If you're gonna get there you're gonna have to walk
But first you'll have to crawl
And you know you've gotta do it step by step
Miss one and you'll fall into this well
Called wanting and having it all

See life's full of changes
And wanting right now what you only see in your dreams
I know you don't like it and think
It's the strangest thing you've ever seen
Well, there ain't nothing you can do about it

There's this thing called wanting and having it all
If you're gonna get there, you're gonna have to walk
But first you'll have to crawl
And you know you've gotta do it step by step
Miss one and you'll fall into this well
Called wanting and having it all
