What We Can't Have Lyrics - Warren Brothers

Its a small crowd here again tonight 

Im playing these old songs I write 

Nobodys listening 

But a rich guy in the corner booth 

And I think Id like to be just like him 

To get off work before two a.m. 

Order what I like and dress real smooth 

And then the rich guy he comes up to me 

Picks up the tip jar and drops a twenty 

And says, That last song it really hit home 

He said, If I could have just one thing 

I would play guitar and sing 

And then Id never really feel alone 

And I thought to myself 

We all want what we cant have 

Its enough to drive you mad 

Make you happy, make you sad 

Aint it crazy, we all want what we cant have 

Businessman sits at the bar 

Lights up the end of a cigar 

And says, Bartender, pour me one more Crown 

He says, I should be getting home tonight 

Ive got two kids and a wife 

But you know me, Id like to stick around 

And Bartender says 

If I were you, Id get out of here 

Im tired of selling wine and beer 

Id sure love something nine to five" 

"No wife no kids no place to be 

You sure you want to be like me 

It feels like I have been here all my life 

We all want what we cant have 

Its enough to drive you mad 

Make you happy, make you sad 

Aint it crazy, we all want what we cant have 

Thank God for this old guitar 

I wrote a song for a country star 

Made enough money 

To leave this little stage 

But I come back here 

Every now and then 

I love this new guy sitting in 

Hes probably half my age 

We all want what we cant have 

Its enough to drive you mad 

Make you happy, make you sad 

Aint it crazy, we all want what we cant have 

Its enough to drive you mad 

Make you happy, make you sad 

Aint it crazy, we all want what we cant have 

Baby aint it crazy, we all want what we cant have 

Baby aint it crazy, baby aint it crazy 

Ooh, na, na, na, na, na 

We all want what we cant have 

We all want what we cant have
