Just Out of Reach

I want a love's that's mine all mine

All the time

You keep it just out of reach

I want a love's that's mine all mine

You keep it just out of reach

She arrives all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed

Ah, 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's that's mine all mine

You keep it just out of reach

I sit alone and wonder why

Sweet love just passed me by

Is there someone out there who wants to try?

I'll protect you, girl I never neglect you

Just slip on this ring

And I will make your heart sing, my love

I wanna love that's mine all mine

All the time

You keep it just out of reach

I want a love's that's mine all mine

You keep it just out of reach

I want a love's that's mine all mine

All the time

You keep it just out of reach

I want a love's that's mine all mine

I want a love's that's mine all mine

But you keep it out of reach

I want a love's that's mine all mine

But you keep it out of reach
