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 seem to mean so much

A beat up Chevy or Mercedez 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 walking down the street
Some get so fat while others never eat
I may be shut out but I ain`t finished yet

My mind`s 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 them but I want them 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
Why I can`t get it
Why it`s a thing I`ll never get

A yacht and 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
