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

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
