Can't Have
Steven A. Clark Lyrics

I told you once (Can't have)
I already said this before, but I can't have what I want.

I tell you twice (Can't have)
I'm telling you again, I can't have what I want.

The grass looks greener on the other side
Things look better somewhere else until you actually get there.

'Til you get to the other side
Things will look better somewhere else until you actually get there.

Well you're happy now
You're happy now that you have what you want.

And I'm so glad, 'cause you're so right
I'm happy for you because you deserve it.

Well then I guess we always
We always seem to

Want what we can't have
Desire something we can't obtain.

Why does loneliness hurt so bad
Why does it hurt so much to be alone?

And girl I want you back
And I want you back, girl.

I see Central Park, from my hotel room
I can see Central Park from my hotel room.

And it's got me thinking
It makes me think.

'Bout the crazy things we use to do
About the crazy things we used to do together.

For the fame, for the power, for the fortune
For the attention, influence, and wealth.

Ducked prison, ducked death, I'm fortunate
I avoided prison and death, and I'm grateful.

It was all a dream, now I wake up and live it
It used to be just a fantasy, but now it's a reality.

Thinking that the sky was the limit
I thought I couldn't go any further, but I was wrong.

'Til I figured out there was footprints on the moon
Until I realized that we had walked on the moon.

Now I'm like get out the way, bitch move
Now I'm more assertive and confident.

Looking at my backyard, now all I see the ocean
When I look at my backyard now, all I see is the ocean.

Not bad for a kid that grew up with roaches
Considering I grew up with roaches, it's not bad.

Drama, chaos, and different coaches
There was lots of conflict, confusion, and change.

That's what allows me to see through these vultures
That's why I can see through people who are only after me for my success.

First we shining shoes
At first we were just shining shoes.

Then we own the shoe shop
But then we owned the entire shoe shop.

First we make the sandwich
At first we were just making sandwiches.

Then we own the restaurants
But then we owned entire restaurants.

First then we clean the house
At first we were just cleaning houses.

Then we own every house on the block
But then we owned every house on the block.

Not bad for some immigrants
Considering we were just immigrants, it's not bad.

But I guess we always want
But I suppose we always desire

What we can't have
What we can't possess.

Can't have
Can't obtain.

Ohh!
Ohh!

Can't have
Can't obtain.

Can't have
Can't obtain.

Can't have
Can't obtain.

Can't have, can't have
Can't obtain, can't obtain.

Can't have, can't have
Can't obtain, can't obtain.

Everyone wants what they can't have right?
Isn't it true that everyone desires what they can't have?

I'm always gonna rep 305 'til I die
I'll always represent the 305 area code until I die.

Everyone knows that this chico gon' ride
Everybody knows that I'm going to ride this out.

Now I won't kill you but I'll watch you die
I won't personally harm you, but I'll stand by and watch.

I'm always gonna rep 305 'til I die
I'll always represent the 305 area code until I die.

Everyone knows that this chico gon' ride
Everybody knows that I'm going to ride this out.

Now I won't kill you but I'll watch you die
I won't personally harm you, but I'll stand by and watch.
