Wanting Things Songtext
von Astrud Gilberto

Tell me, how long must I keep
Wanting things
Needing things
When I have so much?

There are many girls who have much less than me
Day by day
They make their way
And they find more in life than I can see


Tell me, when will I learn to resist
Wanting things
Touching things
That say: "Do not touch"?

People that I meet seem to think I am strong
They don′t see
Inside of me
So they don't know I′m weak and often wrong

Tell me, why must I keep
Wanting things
Needing things
That just can't be mine?
