JOE JACKSON You Can't Get What You Want

Sometimes you start feelin' so lost and lonely,
then you'll find it's all been in your mind.
Sometimes you think someone is the one and only;
can't you see, it could be you and me?
But if there's any doubt,
then I think I'll leave it out.

'Cause I'll tell you one thing:
you can't get what you want
till you know what you want.
Said, you can't get what you want
till you know what you want.

Sometimes you keep busy reaching out for something.
You don't care, there's always something there.
Sometimes you can't see that all you need is one thing.
If it's right, you could sleep at night,
But it can take some time,
But at least I'm here in line.
