Have you ever wanted something?
You gotta help sing along with this song in case I forget the words
Have you ever wanted something so badly
That it possessed your body and your soul through the night and through the day?
Until you finally get it
And then you realize that it wasn't what you wanted after all
And then those selfsame sickly little thoughts
Now go and attach themselves to
Somebody or something
And the whole goddamn thing starts all over again
Well, I've been crushing the symptoms
But I can't locate the cause
Could God really be so cruel
To give us feelings that could never be fulfilled?
Baby, I've got my sights set on you, mm, you
I've got my sight set on you
And someday, someday, someday
You'll come my way
But when you put your arms around me
Well, I'll be looking over your shoulder for something new
Well, I ain't ever found peace upon the breast of a girl
I always have to add a disclaimer there
Because I've found a lot of peace
On the breast of girls
Haven't we all?
From infancy all the way to old age
There's no place like home and there's no home like the breast of a girl
