Patty Griffin - You Never Get What You Want Lyrics
You first found me in my holding penStopped to take a look and stuck your finger inI bit one off and you came back again and againThen the nice people let me out one dayAnd you told me how to act andWhat to sayBut you never get what you wanted that wayYou never get what you wantYou never get what you want and i don't think it's my faultYou never get what you want, do you baby?Everything's always such a mysteryIncluding your sad little historyDo you still think someone should take responsibility and payEver since i've know you you've walked that walkYou've broken all the recordsNow you've broken all the clocksAnd everytime it breaks my heart to hear you talk this wayYou never get what you wantYou never get what you want and i don't think it's my faultYou never get what you want, do you baby?Everybody's been sad, everybody's been tragicWhole lot of hard times, whole little bit of magicThese bitter bitter fruits and these endless hallwaysThey're killing us babyWe gotta walk away, walk awayYou never get what you wantYou never get what you wantYou spend your whole time thinkin 'bout why i'm so derangedWell honey, why don't you think about that for a change?You never get what you wantYou never get what you wantYour whole damn lifeYou never get what you wantNot your whole damn lifeYou never get what you wantAnd i don't think it's my faultYou never get what you wantDo you baby
