Just Out Of Reach

I want a love that's mine all mine, all the time 
You keep it just out of reach 
I want a love that's mine all mine 
You keep it just out of reach 

She arrives all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed 
Oh but soon, soon the tears will swell 
Makin' it here seems such a cinch 
But soon she'll smell the stench 
Of the gutter-dwellers, them pretty fellows 

I want a love that's mine all mine, all the time 
You keep it just out of reach 
I want a love that's mine all mine 

I sit alone and wonder why 
Sweet love just pass me by 
Is there someone out there who wants to try 
I'll protect you, girl I never will neglect you 
Just slip on this ring and 
I will make your heart sing, my love 

I want a love that's mine all mine, all the time 
You keep it just out of reach 
I want a love that's mine all mine 
You keep it just out of reach 

I want a love that's mine all mine, all the time 
You keep it just out of reach 
I want a love that's mine all mine 

I want a love that's mine all mine 
But you keep it out of reach
