I Can't Get It

So many things that mean a lot

So many things that I never got

You can look boy but you can't touch

What I don't have seems to mean so much

A beat up Chevy or a Mercedes Benz

Should make no difference in the end

But I get mad, baby real upset

'Cos what I want I can never get

They're just like cattle walkin' down the street

Some get so fat while others never eat

I may be shut out but I ain't finished yet

My mind is blank, I take another drink

I'm not destroyed but I'm right on the brink

I sit and count them shot by shot

The little things that I never got

Those uptown ladies on 5th Avenue

It's like I hate 'em but I want 'em too

I may be shut out but I ain't finished yet

I don't get it, I don't get it at all

I don't get it, I don't get it at all

Why I can't get it, why it's a thing I'll never get

I said, I can't get it, why it's a thing I'll never get

I don't get it, I don't get it at all

I don't get it, I don't get it at all

Why I can't get it, why it's a thing I'll never get

I said, I can't get it, why it's a thing I'll never get

I can't get it, I can't get it

I can't get it, I can't get it

Oh you don't understand, you just sit through my head

I can't get it, I can't get it, I know

A yacht, a Rolls and a private jet

A dirty blonde in a red Corvette

Wife and kids and a house and a pet

Those are the things that I can't get
