[Verse 1]
So I hear you're rebuilding your life
Down in Mexico way
To act out your favourite play
With your cat and piano
I always knew you could play
I knew you better than your friends would suggest
The ones who laid claim to being your best

[Chorus]
Well that's always the way
When you want something
That's always the way
When you want something you can't have
When you want something you can't have

[Verse 2]
You were my favourite one
But I suppose that's fallen on deaf ears
Because of the way that it was left
It was in the hands of the gods the sods
They're an unruly mob and on their CV
They can now write down theft

[Chorus]
Some things, they are not for the best
And that's always the way
When you want something
That's always the way
When you want something you can't have
That's always the way
When you want something you can't have
When you want something you can't have
[Verse 3]
I never wanted this to happen this way
When do we ever a little time called never
Retrospect is such a cruel invention
No cruel intentions not a single bad
I never wanted this to happen this way
When do we ever a little time called never
Retrospect is such a cruel invention
No cruel intentions
I want something I can't have
