The Trouble With Wanting

Joy Williams


Wandering soul
Wandering mind
Wondering what’s gone wrong with me
And try not to try
Swayed by the wind
Swayed by desire
Can’t reach the Moon up above
And I don’t dare touch the fire

'Cause the trouble with wanting is I want you
The trouble with wanting is I want you
The trouble with wanting is I want you
And I want you all the time

Always on my mind
Always alone
You could be miles and miles away
But somehow you're close
If I can't have my cake
And I can't eat it too
Well, I guess the sound of your voice
In the aching will just have to do

'Cause the trouble with wanting is I want you
The trouble with wanting is I want you
The trouble with wanting is I want you
And I want you all the time

And if you never come back
If you never call
I say I'll understand when I don’t at all

'Cause the trouble with wanting is I want you
The trouble with wanting is I want you
The trouble with wanting is I want you
And I want you all the time
The trouble with wanting is I want you
The trouble with wanting is I want you
I see you there and I see that line
(The trouble with wanting is I want you)
And I want you all the time
Oh, I want you all the time
