When I Can't Have You

(albüm: A Little Good News - 1983)

I got a lot of photographs, I set them all around the house
I hang them on the wall and I think of you
I got a lot of memories, I wear them out on my sleeve
And I look for a heart that pleases like you

When I can't have you (When I can't have you), that's when I want you (That's when I want you)
Yes, and I want you (You know that I want you) all of the time (My heart)
When I can't have you (When I can't have you), that's when I really want you (That's when I want you)
Yes, and I want you (You know that I want you) all the time

I got a lot of alibis of pre-meditated lies
But love is just a cheap disguise without you
I guess I'm just afraid to face the mad and lonesome empty place
How am I to fill the space without you?

Cuz when I can't have you (When I can't have you), that's when I want you (That's when I want you)
Yes, and I want you (You know that I want you) all the time (My heart)
When I can't have you (When I can't have you), that's when I really want you (That's when I want you)
Yes, and I want you (You know that I want you) all the time

When I can't have you (When I can't have you), that's when I want you (That's when I want you)
Yes, and I want you (You know that I want you) all of the time (My heart)
When I can't have you (When I can't have you), that's when I really want you (That's when I want you)
Yes, and I want you (You know that I want you) all the time
