Promises Promises - Wanting Things Lyrics

2010 Broadway revival
Promises, Promises the Musical - Wanting Things Lyrics

The song is written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

Tell me how long must I keep
Wanting things
Needing things
When I have so much?

There are many men
Who have much less than me
Day by day, they make their way
And they find more in life than I can see

Tell me when will I learn to resist
Wanting things
Touching things
That say, "Do, do not touch"

People that I meet
Seem to think I am strong
They don't see inside of me
So they don't know I'm weak and often wrong
Tell me

Oh, oh
Wanting things
Oh, oh

There are many men
Who have much less than me
Day by day, they make their way
And they find more in life than I can see

Tell me why must I keep
Wanting things
Needing things
That just can't be mine
Oh, wanting things
That just can't be mine
