The Wanting Of You Lyrics - Fearless Love - Melissa Etheridge

She's got her sweet children 

She's got her house, she's got some land 

Her earthly possessions 

She's got a ring upon her hand 

She tried to be a good girl 

She tried to make everything right 

She tried to kill the voices 

That haunt her each and every night 

She looks up to heaven 

And wonders why love is so cruel 

She loves him, won't hurt him 

Can't stop the wanting of you 

Oh...

She married in high school 

Oldest was well upon her way 

But that wild night, Chicago 

It left a mark she can't erase 

A phase you'll just get over 

That's what her friends have always said 

You dip your toes in water 

She's in way over her head 

She looks up to heaven 

And wonders why love is so cruel 

She loves him, won't hurt him 

Can't stop the wanting of you 

Oh... 

Keeping her desire paralyzed 

She catches in the corner of her eyes 

Tank top, smooth skin, soft lips, tan thighs 

How the hell's this ache ever gonna die?

We make our choices 

Doing what we think is good 

We deny our own dreams 

'Cause we think we've been told we should 

We think we've been told we should 

She looks up to heaven 

And wonders why love is so cruel 

She loves him, won't hurt him 

Can't stop the wanting of you 

She looks up to heaven 

And wonders why love is so cruel 

She loves him, won't hurt him 

Can't stop the wanting of you 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 

She can't stop 

She can't stop the wanting of you 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 

She can't stop the wanting 

The wanting of you
