Merle Haggard
Always Wanting You (1974)
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
