Merle Haggard - Always Wanting You

Always wanting you, but never having you,
Makes it hard to face tomorrow.
'Cause I know I'll wake up wanting you again.
Always loving you, but never touching you,
Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand.

I'd been better off if I'd turned away,
And never looked at you the second time.
'Cause I really had my life all together,
'Til your eyes meet mine.
And there I saw a yearning,
And a feeling across the room that you felt for me.
Wish I'd had away of knowing.
The things we had in mind could never be.

Always wanting you, but never having you,
Makes it hard to face tomorrow.
'Cos I know I'll wake up wanting you again.
Always loving you, but never touching you,
Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand.

Always wanting you, but never having you,
Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand.
