So I left you there at the door.
Ooh, I thought he'd give me more.
What looked so good from afar
just wasn't worth losin' your heart.
Does everything look better
when it's just beyond your reach?
Oh, I know it's a human thing,
always somethin' else you think you need.
Sell my soul to the devil
just to get you back,
we all want what we can't have.
We all want what we can't have.
Man on the street has a wish to be king.
He believes that will solve everything.
But somewhere there's a king
who walks down from his throne
for a simple life he's never known.
Why can't we be satisfied
with what we're given in this life?
Oh, I know it's a human thing,
always somethin' else you think you need.
Sell my soul to the devil
just to get you back,
we all want what we can't have.
We all want what we can't have.
He wants her, she wants him
and so it goes around again.
But maybe someday I can see
what's right before my eyes.
Does everything look better
when it's just beyond your reach?
Oh, I know it's a human thing,
always somethin' else you think you need.
Sell my soul to the devil
just to get you back,
we all want what we can't have.
We all want what we can't have.
We all want what we can't have.
We all want what we can't have.
