I want a love that's mine all mine

All the time

You keep it just out of reach

I want a love that's mine all mine

You keep it just out of reach

She arrives all bright eyed

And bushy tailed

Oh but soon soon the tears will swell

Makin' it here seems such a cinch

But soon she'll smell the stench

Of the gutter dwellers

Them pretty fellows

You keep it just out of reach

I want a love that's mine all mine

You keep it just out of reach

I sit alone and wonder why

Sweet love just pass me by

Is there someone out there who wants to try

I'll protect you

Girl I never will neglect you

Just slip on this ring and

I will make your heart sing my love

I want a love that's mine all mine

All the time

You keep it just out of reach

I want a love that's mine all mine

You keep it just out of reach

I want a love that's mine all mine

All the time

You keep it just out of reach

I want a love that's mine all mine

I want a love that's mine all mine

But you keep it out of reach

I want a love that's mine all mine

But you keep it out of reach
