The Wantin' Not The Gettin' Lyrics - Singles - Jolie & The Wanted

It started with Adam and Eve 

Running round the apple tree 

Now look at us 

From the apple to the ring 

Time ain't changed a thing 

When it comes to love 

Dontcha see it's the thrill 

If you won't, if you will 

He could be from Mabaline or Tennessee 

Like me 

It's the wantin' 

Not the gettin' 

It's the asking pretty please 

And not the lettin' 

That puts the spice in the life of every mans fantasy 

You'll see 

It's the chasin' 

Not the catchin' 

It's the gotta know what's cooking in the kitchen 

Oh, they love a little mystery 

If you wanna keep 'em guessing it's the wantin' not the gettin' 

So get that French perfume 

Get those high heel shoes 

And Malibu tan 

It ain't about all that 

It ain't what he can have 

It's what he can't 

For him it's the thrill 

If you won't, if you will 

He could be from New Orleans or Tennessee 

Like me 

It's the wantin' 

Not the gettin' 

It's the asking pretty please 

And not the lettin' 

That puts the spice in the life of every mans fantasy 

Yeah, you'll see 

It's the chasin' 

Not the catchin' 

It's the gotta know what's cooking in the kitchen 

Ooohhh, they love a little mystery 

If you wanna keep 'em guessing it's the wantin' not the gettin' 

Oh, dontcha see it's the thrill 

If you won't, if you will 

He could be from Bowman Green or Tennessee 

Like me, yeah 

It's the wantin' 

Not the gettin' 

It's the asking pretty please 

And not the lettin' 

That puts the spice in the life of every mans fantasy 

Yeah, you'll see 

It's the chasin' 

Not the catchin' 

It's the gotta know what's cooking in the kitchen 

Yeah, they love a little mystery 

So make a little mystery 

If you wanna keep 'em guessing it's the wantin' not the gettin' 

It's the wantin' 

Not the gettin' 

He could be from Mabaline or New Orleans, Bowman Green or Tennesse 

Like me
