Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

Always Wanting You

Always wanting you, but never having you,

Makes it hard to face tomorrow 'cause I

Know I'll wake up wanting you again.

Always loving you, but never touching you,

Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand.

I'd been better off if I'd turned away and never

Looked at you the second time.

'Cause I really had my life all together till your eyes meet mine.

And there I saw a yearning and a feeling 'cross

The room that you felt for me.

Wish I'd had a way of knowing that the things we had in

Mind could never be.

Always wanting you, but never having you,

Makes it hard to face tomorrow 'cause I

Know I'll wake up wanting you again.

Always loving you, but never touching you,

Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand.
